21. A Reward

ZEDKIEL.

I licked my lips, unable to keep the smirk off my face. She had a fucking point although I don’t think she realises I was no longer the person I was eight years ago But I couldn’t deny she looked smoking hot standing her ground. Although I didn’t know if I should be offended or

impressed that she feared me more than an entire table full of Lycans.

Her eyes held Danciana’s and I couldn’t help but remember the words of the

Shadow Wolf… A sliver of unease flitted

through me. No mere Omega could just hold an Alpha’s daughter’s gaze like that … One who was mated to a Lycan at that.

Draven let out a low whistle as Chasyn and Maryka exchanged glances.

Danciana let out a fake laugh, but it was obvious she was trying to gather herself. Not expecting my Little Mouse to speak up like that. I glanced at Dad, who was watching Evangeline with a faint smile on his face, a look of interest in his eyes. 2

His gaze shifted to meet mine, and he nodded slowly. ‘Perhaps this might not

be that bad of an idea… She actually stood up to you for the Welhaven boy when no

one else had the courage to… I included.

Perhaps it was her innocence, and she

didn’t know what you were capable of, or

she has potential that we do not know of

….. But she is wolf-less Zedkiel. Perhaps that’s why she didn’t feel the power of your Lycan’s wrath.’

‘She doesn’t need a wolf to stand by my side.’ I replied through the mind link.

And I was certain that she could sense my

aura…

He seemed to be musing over what I said, until Danciana spoke, drawing both of

our attention back to the table.

“Then shall we test your knowledge? I

mean, my sons deserve no less than an

Alpha blooded female. Why should one settle for an Omega orphan? Let’s see if you even have the basic knowledge a

Luna should have?”

My sons? I wasn’t her fucking son, and

she never treated me as one either. I

looked at Evangeline. Her lush breasts were rising and falling, but she still nodded to Danciana’s question. My gaze dipped to her hands that she had clenched on her lap. They were trembling slightly.

She may be acting confidently, but my Little Mouse was still nervous and

probably terrified. “Danciana, let’s not test her right now…” Dad said, chuckling

lightly, only for Danciana to shake her head, raising her hand.

“Oh, it’s all in good faith.” She

responded, but I didn’t miss the glint of challenge in her eyes when he looked at Evangeline once more. I’d entertain her, but if she crossed a line, then I would deal with her. “Tell me what makes an

Alpha’s mate a Luna or shall I say an Alpha Prince’s, Luna?”

This was bullshit. A standard Luna

taught, and I had a feeling Evangeline
