Chapter 91
The man, respectfully, bowed to him and in a hoarse voice expressed.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
– Luna Eos. I welcome you to your new pack. I will be there to serve you in whatever is offered.
Eos thanked with a nod and then directed an icy glance at the three women who were laughing derisively. However, his firm tone of voice inquired.
“Well, you three, aren’t you going to say hello to your Moon?”
The nymph’s attitude did not go unnoticed by Perseus, who felt caught between excitement and fear. He knew his wife was jealous and didn’t know if he should be excited by her reaction or worried about her go-drinking attitude.
The she-wolves looked at each other and just smiled. They planned to humiliate the nymph who was not part of their pack, however, they were completely unaware of the immense power that Eos possessed. Soon, they would realize the true magnitude of their strength.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Luna. It’s just that we’re still not used to dealing with people from other packs. Rumor has it that this marriage must have been arranged just because she was the daughter of kings, my dear Perseus,” Sophia, Frederick’s daughter, continued sarcastically. You had to give in to their whims. After all, you have to fulfill the wishes of a she-wolf who pretends to be a nymph,” he concluded in a mocking tone.
At that moment, Perseus felt anger wash over him, and a menacing growl escaped his lips. He was about to speak, but a pressure on his hand stopped him. Then, he was paralyzed as he witnessed an astonishing spectacle: vines emerged from the forest and headed straight for the three she-wolves. The vines coiled around their legs, causing them to fall to the ground on their backs and be dragged into the thick forest. This unexpected event left everyone present open-mouthed and frightened. At that moment, Eos, with a charming smile, took the floor.
“Gentlemen, excuse the events. Those three she-wolves showed no respect towards the Moon of this pack and it was necessary for them to understand what it means to honor their Moon.
“Luna, I apologize on behalf of my daughter and her friends. They had no awareness of what they were saying. They are wolves who harbored hopes of becoming the wife of the alpha of this pack, but that doesn’t justify their behavior. You can be sure it won’t happen again,” Frederick declared, showing his regret for his daughter’s recklessness.
“Of course it won’t happen again. As the Moon of this pack, tomorrow those three wolves, along with their families, will leave this place. We do not wish for traitors or conspirators in this pack. I can’t ignore that everything that’s discussed in the meeting room about the alpha and the herd is reported by your daughter.
The man was visibly surprised by the Moon’s words.
“What?” How? He asked, stunned by the revelation.
“As you have heard, I know very well that everything that Alpha Perseus says about the pack or her person is transmitted by your daughter in the vicinity of the pack. For that reason, I don’t want them to stay here anymore.
“You don’t have the authority to do it. The alpha won’t allow you to reduce and expel any wolves from their pack. “You’re proving to be a tyrant,” Frederick replied, his face burning with rage and dismay.
Eros arrived next to Danna, who was clearly furious. Hercules asked permission to go out and resolve the situation more drastically, he wanted to take the head off that wolf that was offending his puppy. But the look his daughter gave him reassured them.
The nymph looked back at Frederick and declared firmly.
“Shameless wolf, how dare you say I’m a tyrant?” We know very well that you were spreading unfounded rumors about Perseus in the pack because he did not agree to marry your daughter. I offer you two options: tomorrow you leave the herd with your daughter, with no right to return, or you will face a trial.
The man, pale and visibly nervous, realized that the nymph was right. She always told her daughter about Perseus’ steps and plans, but she never thought that this gossip would go around divulging those conversations. He looked at the faces of those present, felt embarrassed, and without saying a word, turned around and headed towards the main exit of the mansion.
Once the man left, Eos looked at his family with tenderness and serenity.
“Daddy, Mommy, let’s get on with the party, tomorrow I promise we’ll talk about this.”
“Are you sure you’re all right, daughter?” I look around with the palpable uneasiness on his face.
“Yes, Daddy. You know I can handle this on my own, as you have taught me.
Danna and Eros embraced their daughter and, understanding the newlyweds, should speak.
Eos, left alone with her mate, whispered with a barely visible concealment.
“This is your fault, you are cheeky, flirtatious wolf. How dare you allow that woman to place her hand on your shoulder?
Perseus, surprised by his wife’s courage in expressing her uneasiness in front of the people present, swallowed hard and cleared his throat before giving an answer.
“My moon, my queen, my nymph, don’t be angry with me. You made the decision for those she-wolves to leave the pack for treachery, and I respect you in that. However, it is not my fault that those she-wolves joined the conversation I was having with the traitor Frederick. Also, as an alpha, I have to act smart at times.
“You’re really cynical. Don’t you dare say it’s for the sake of pretense, because I saw you baring your fangs to those flirtatious wolves. I’m not going to let the she-wolves in your pack see my silly face. This proves to me that you have gone to bed with them so that they dare to be so insolent as to seek you out after you are married. I’m upset, Perseus. Let’s get on with the party, but don’t speak to me again. When it’s all over, I’ll go sleep with Eda.” Eos was outraged, clenching her fists as she kept a smile on the face of the audience, who were oblivious to her annoyance.
Perseus was dismayed by the situation and was unwilling to allow Eos to sleep in any room other than his own. After so many days of waiting to make it his own, he wouldn’t let a pointless argument ruin the wedding night. Without thinking, he bent down and took her in his arms as if she were a princess, as he addressed those present.
“Gentlemen, the bride and groom need a moment of privacy. Continue to enjoy the party.
Without looking at anyone, he began to walk with Eos in his arms. She struggled and protested.
“Let go of me, Perseus, I can walk on my own.”
The weather in the herd was experiencing a sudden change. The air was getting colder, black clouds were gathering over the sky, and the wind was beginning to blow through the place. Danna looked at her husband worriedly.
“Our daughter must calm down, or we’ll all end up soaked,” he warned as the first flashes of lightning and thunder made an appearance.
“Let’s wait a bit to see if Perseus can calm her down, or we might consider calling it a day.”
Danna nodded, aware that the weather reflected her daughter’s turbulent mood.
