REGALEON 
I furrowed my brows at her words, "What's with the submissiveness all of a sudden??"

"Because I feel your pain"

I gulped hard, this is the first time someone will be telling me that and Damn! It touched my heart and burned my soul that I'm hearing this kind of comforting words from someone I wanted to hate the most. 

She looked frustrated, "Regaleon I really mean it. I mean every words that I said to you. I really mean it that I feel your pain. It I had passed through all that, I don't know what I'll have done to myself. And you have Little Phoenix too, you're truly a legend"

I just continued to stare at her as she spit out these words. The only woman that do say all these soft words to me was dahila and that's because I fucks her.

Ariadne continued, "I don't hate you Leon even though I know you hate me pretty well" She muttered after a moment of passing silence. "You took me away from my pack and brought me here but I still don't know why my heart doesn't hate you even though I wanted to. I really want to hate you jerk!"

"Didn't you shout to my face that you hate me?" 

"I don't mean it! My mouth only said it but my heart didn't. Perhaps it's because of Little Phoenix, but I don't know why" Aria replied as a matter of fact and I continued to stare at her. 

I can't control the huge to grab her jaws as I walked to her and done so with the most sternest growl I could harness while my wolf howls ferociously to the joy of her words, "I'm an assassin, a murderer, a thief and a rouge".

She shivered but I don't care and her eyes stared back at mine as if I had put a blame on her neck. "But Leon you're nice. Seeing how you treats the pack members is proof of that and, Little Phoenix is also a proof.

"What?" I staggered back.

"I accept that you're an assassin like you said but you're better than this Leon" 

"No I am not!"

Still on this topic, Little Phoenix came and knocked on the door. 

"Are you in there father and mother?" 

"Phoenix, go down the village and call Kyra to come and get the door opened" I bellowed in response. 

After hearing his descending footsteps, I released Aria and stood aside as she tried to get another book from the shelf. "Who is Kyra?" 

"None of your concern" 

As she tried taking the book that seems too high for her, the shelf shook and slowly, the book on the shelf fell down almost raining down on her head. 

With the weight of the books coming down, Aria would have gotten a wound or two of it had successfully rained down on her head. She crouched down to the ground and braced herself for the impending book storm.

But God damnit! I don't know what impulse made me rush to her as quickly formed a shilouette loomed over her. The book came down and fell on me as she was cuddled on my chest while my chest is clearly protecting her. 

After the books had fell down, I raised her up carefully. 

"Are you injured?" I demand as I check her body as if it was a priceless gem. 

Her experession really surprised me because she looks as of nothing had happened with the way she was smirking, "Is that question coming from the Mighty rouge that claimed the be the most heartless rouge on heart?" 

I smirked at her sudden judgement of me, "Who gives you such assurance? I don't want you to get injured because Little Phoenix will hold me responsible"

Still on this topic, another big book came down from the shelf almost falling on her again but I had to her side and pulled her hand quickly making the two of us fall on the floor with a loud thud. She was on me. 

Our eyes caught each other and her breathing was erratic. I could feel the beat of her heart against mine and my wolf growled, "Why is he breathing like this?"

I don't know. I don't want to know and I wanted her to stop breathing like and on second thoughts, it feels good to have a woman this up close. 

Suddenly, the door jerked open revealing Little Phoenix with another lady who had a scar on the left part of her face. That's Kyra. 

Aria and I looked at the direction of the door and quickly, we stood up from the compromising position they were. If anything, I don't want Kyra to see me this vulnerable, she knew me to be a fearful person. 

As we both straightened our dresses, Kyra comes in with some sort of arrogance, "Are you okay?"

I nodded and sat up. 

"Hello" She murmured to Aria with a disdainful look in her eyes.

With a slight bow, Aria left the room without answering Kyra's questions.

I watched her leave with Phoenix and any onlooker would thought she's indeed gone but I could caught her peeking secretly, trying to eavesdrop on our conversation. 

"What is the latest Update Kyra?" I ask. 

"Why is she here Alpha? Isn't that the Luna of Agatha?" Kyra asked.

With voice filled with authority and dominance, I quipped at her, "It's no concern of yours Kyra, You don't have any audacity to question my authority" 

Still no satisfied of my answer, Kyra investigated further this time with annoyance and malice in her voice "You should have killed her during the raid. Of what use is she here? Have you forgotten what her father did to us??"

"She's not responsible for what Alpha Ebenezer did Kyra" I supported Ariadne for the first time even surprising myself. What a life. 

"Then why is she here Alpha? Seeing her here makes my blood boil"

I got infuriated with her words so I stood up and faced her sharply, "Having her here had done half of what what I wanted to achieve Kyra!" I growl, "Did you want me to be on call everytime she's in danger? Do you think I'm happy with this stupid and cursed protective role?"

I heard Ariadne whimper and she sniffed almost getting Kyra's attention but I faced Kyra again, "No more discussion about her Kyra. Let's end it here once and for all" 

"But Alpha...." 

"No Buts!"
