Betty, who stood at the main double doors leading to the main house, adjusted from the wall where she was leaning to the right of evelynne. Her face bloomed at her lady's sight. She ran to her, clasping her hand in hers. "You are okay?"
Evelynne rolled her eyes, "did you want me to die inside there because I was only trying to state facts?" She began walking leaving Betty trailing behind her. "But milady, that's not what I was trying to say"
"Then what, Beth?"
"The women there are not unmarried like you and beta Magnus may try to do something and I'm scared"
Evelynne turned to her and touched her shoulder "don't be scared Beth nothing—"
"Wait lady evelynne" she heard a not-so-familiar voice, she raised her head to the voice and the face standing close to her. "Can you please give me a minute, lady Evelynne?. I want to speak with you" his eyes went to Beth and he said "in private" breathing hard indicating he ran.
Evelynne wondered why he was chasing after her, she needed to think and not blink waiting for Beta Magnus to swindle the ball into his court. "And what would the son of Beta Magnus's alliance be doing trying to talk with me?"
Ronan cleared his throat before putting his hands in his pockets "we need to talk"
"About…?"
"So many things"
"Likeeee" she drawled
Ronan's eyes turned gold and he said to Betty without removing his eyes from Evelynne "LEAVE US"
Betty bowed and left, his domineering Alpha figure towered over evelynne and she smiled smugly. "Who knew he could get angry" she clicked her tongue "seems all the werewolves in thalvion hates women being imperious. Getting angry over such a trivial matter" she sassed shaking her head to leave but Ronan held her arm which her eyes immediately landed onto.
"We wouldn't like the outcome of you trying to piss me off evelynne. It may be something trivial" his husky voice breathed and evelynne found herself closing her eyes. They silently walked away from the path that led to her quarters and Evelynne tried prying her arms away from him which she didn't know he was holding.
"What?" He asked.
"Where are we going?" She was still struggling and he pulled her more closer to him "my lodge"
"What?!" She panicked "we can't go there, rumours will spread. Everyone would…" She wheezed, opening her mouth to speak again but Ronan beat her to it "when did you care about what people say?"
"The moment you came to this pack!"she gritted out "stop disturbing and get on right now with what you want to say. I have important things to do"
"Like becoming an alpha"
"Yes"
Ronan left her arm, his eyes looking everywhere, not her. He didn't know what to say and he didn't even know why he was taking her to his lodge in the pack house allocated to him. What was he doing?.
"I can help you" he finally said, after what felt like forever. What was he doing?. His father would talk over this but… "I know it may sound stupid but I can try to be of any help to you"
"And how should I believe and trust you, Beta Magnus alliance's son?"
"You don't have to trust me but let me help you at least a little in your quest. You can't do this alone, can you?"
"I—"
"You need a pact and that would be me" he puffed his chest which didn't look blissful in evelynne's eyes "and what would we do about your father and his alliance?" She folded her hands on her chest waiting for an answer. Not like she trusted him but she needed allies, no matter how strong headed she can be, supporters are always needed and he can be one.
Being strong and capable was a variable thing but alliance to help her in this journey of hers was needed.
"I would take care of him, don't worry about him but your alpha quest"
"And what would you gain after all this, soon-to-be alpha ronan?. You are not trying to tell me, you are doing this for my gain only" that was impossible.
Ronan smiled and licked his lips which didn't go unnoticed by evelynne "until you become the alpha but always know we have a deal. Be an alpha and we are good"
"Don't you like Beta Magnus?" She needed to ask, in the nearest future or maybe the next few years he would become an alpha and he was supposed to linger around beta Magnus, not her. A treaty was needed obviously for the pack and as the next alpha and the new alpha(Magnus) they needed a treaty.
Ronan didn't want to spill more than he needs to so he answered vaguely "you could say our hatred is mutual concerning beta Magnus in that chair as the next alpha of this pack"
He pulled his hand out for a handshake, evelynne narrowed her eyes at him. She wanted to ask more questions to be sure of what she was signing herself into. But he was rushing which was enough reasons to note this was fishy however she pulled a pin from her hair which made her hair pour at her back.
Ronan saw how the hair cascaded at her back, so bright. The blonde was so beautiful. She pierced the pin into his opened palm where a drop of blood oozed out, she rushed to do hers and shook him immediately. Shining her teeth, her eyes looked at him "deal" it can't be broken.
Ronan didn't know what to do , this wasn't how he wanted and thought things to go. Blood pact was not a simple pact but a deadly combination. They may die if any of them go against the rules. Was she mad? Or stupid?
"Deal" he followed suit, whatever the outcome, the future would tell.
