The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 144

After talking with the Elders, unless Lila gives up her title willingly, I have no choice but to fight her, even being Queen of the

werewolves now; it's a crock of shit is what it is! At least I tried, and my conscience is now clean. On another note, the Elders are all thrilled to hear about me being the last Dire wolf and now that Declan and I are Queen and King, we must meet with them as soon as possible, because they make up my council; they answer to us now. How does that work when they just told us that I had to fight Lila for my title? Because there is a system in place, and we still have to follow the laws and rules. Although, we can now take steps to change some of the outdated laws, which we will definitely be doing in the near future.

He still stalks me, so I try a different tactic, and I bat my lashes while pouting my lip out just a little bit, "Duke, can we please wait until after the challenge? That way, we can celebrate too, and I will let you do anything you want to me." I place my hand on his chest. and step in close for further effect.

He gazes down at me, "Anything?"

I nod, "Anything." I say very seductively and then bite my lower lip.

He growls, "Fine, but as soon as the fight is over, I'm throwing you over my shoulder and coming straight back here!"
