Chapter 16. How Dare You?

“I am asking you again, omega,” the Lycan king growled, “Who do you think you are to say such things?!”

All other omegas bowed their heads and only Roxy stood there, trembling.

Riannon’s lips parted in shock as she took him in. Today he was wearing ripped jeans and a grey T-shirt that was slightly too tight around his muscular body. He had sunglasses on which he took off right before their eyes met.

He was a fine specimen of a Lycan. Tall and broad-shouldered as if he spent most of his time training and fighting. Yet his green eyes gave away his sharp mind and experience. Someone like him wouldn’t buy the pathetic lies of the scheming omega in front of him. And for some reason, it made Riannon very happy inside.

“I am so sorry, Alpha,” Roxy started stuttering and Ria thought to herself that for the first i e ever this might have been genuine. The aura around the Lycan King was deadly and even she could feel it.

“I am afraid a simple sorry is not going to cut it, little girl. You are not that little thought to not know any rules. Or now that you found out that you are the Alpha’s mate you decided that you are above everyone and anyone?” Gideon chuckled darkly, “I hate to break it to you, but even Alphas are not above our laws. And you are still a no one as of now. I don’t see a mark on your neck, do r?”

No one dared to speak and Roxanne’s head was getting lower and lower.

“Not to mention that even if you did have a mark,” the Lycan king stepped closer, “I could still demand your life as a tribute to me for your insolence. And, trust me, your Alpha would kill your himself in an instant just to appease me. If he is not a complete i***t, of course. Which I

“What is going on here?” Brayden showed up from the side leading to the training field

with Ash and his best warriors, all sweaty after yet another exercise round. He looked worried

when he saw the scene unfolding before him and Ria decided to take a step back simply watching what would happen.

There had been wars where werewolves tried to end lycan’s dominance and they all ended badly for the wolves. So, no one tried that before. It did help that lycans, however cruel if crossed, seemed to be reasonable rulers. They implemented ľ s that more or less took care of everyone under their wing.

and she sighed, rolling her eyes, which only made him smirk and clench his fists. He looked like he was ready to tear the omega apart any moment now. That got Ria worried. For the first time, she realised that now she really needed Roxanne alive for her

to see him so protective of his mate. But in the end, more than anything now she wanted her freedom. And her pack. If Gideon killed Roxy now, Bray would be devastated, yes. But he would survive. And never ever give her a divorce. And she wouldn’t have grounds for
