Chapter 320 Ava: A Stronger Bond Than Before

Soon, Grimoire assures me.

Selene sets her paw on the golden wolf's head, shoving it down while she rubs her head against my hand.

"Jealous?" I ask her in amusement.

Why would I be jealous? she asks, even as she wiggles her way between us.

I guess she still doesn't have a full connection with his wolf.

No, she agrees shortly.

As Kellan and Lisa approach, the golden wolf lets out a low, menacing growl in warning. Selene, ever protective, sits up abruptly and snarls back. He immediately cowers in response.

Kellan's voice cuts through the tension. "It might be best to keep him in here. Not everyone's seen their Alpha's new form."

The pack is already on edge; seeing their Alpha in an unfamiliar state could cause more unrest. He's taking it in stride, but maybe he's already seen it before.

Selene's agreement comes with an unexpected caveat. It wouldn't be good for them to see their Alpha wolf submitting to me, either. Unless... Her piercing gaze falls on me. Unless you wish to become Alpha yourself.
