The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Fighting with Vaelen !!

The silence that had fallen after Arlena’s outburst didn’t last long.

From the edges of the training ground, a few of the warriors started murmuring among themselves. One of them finally spoke out loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Alpha Vaelen, you were too harsh on her," he said, half-laughing. "She’s just a girl blinded by love for you."

Another chimed in with a chuckle. "And what a girl. Only Alpha Vaelen would reject a hot beauty like that."

Laughter rippled through the group. A third man smirked and joined in, "If it were us, we’d have already been under her skirt. She’s been throwing herself at you for years, Alpha. Why waste the chance?"

The others joined in, their sarcastic remarks mixing with crude snickers.

Serena’s stomach tightened. She understood enough of their meaning to feel heat crawl up her face, embarrassment and anger tangling together.

But before she could even flinch, Vaelen’s hand came down firmly, covering her ears. Her entire body stiffened, his frame towering like a wall between her and their jeering voices.

He glared at them and warned them.

"If you want to get under her skirt so much," he snapped, "then go and fuck her yourselves for all I care."

But someone was still in the mode of joking, not realizing how dark Vaelen’s face looked. "But she doesn’t want us. She only wants you, Alpha."

Vaelen’s jaw ticked, his patience thinning.

"Not my problem. And don’t you dare say such disgusting words in front of me again." His eyes burned like fire as he swept them all in a single glare. "If you’ve got so much time to run your rotten mouths, then run your rotten asses out of here and chase after any she-wolf you want. But not here in my ground."

With that he slowly lowered his hand from Serena’s ears, still keeping her close behind him. His chest heaved once, twice, but his voice when he finally spoke to her was quieter, though no less firm.
