It had been days since Alex contacted Rowan about the search for Alan’s daughter and it drove him insane. Rowan hadn’t been able to sleep or eat properly or focus on his training. Alan made it worse by asking every five hours or so if Rowan had anything to report.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdV1LKJrXn
Rowan decided that he would use his day to try and find the book that his father spoke about in the office. He needed to get a handle on what he could potentially be dealing with when Alex came back. Rowan had ripped the office apart in a desperate quest to find a fairy tale book. He was frustrated and mad that his father didn’t tell him where it was and Rowan stood hunched over the office table, surrounded in mess. Through his own laboured breathing, he could hear the familiar sound of training boots, walking towards the door. A Warrior stepped into the office.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIg2VIUtd8
“WHAT!” Rowan yelled.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFUVASoiMv
“Sorry Alpha didn’t mean to disturb you, I’ll come back another time.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABhUj0q5YT
Rowan watched him leave and turned to sit at the desk. He placed his head in his hands and wondered what the hell was going on with him. He used the desk to pull his chair in and felt something underneath. Rowan felt around for a moment and to his surprise, realised it’s a drawer. He tried opening it and pulled it towards him with no success. It was locked. Rowan knew there was only one key that could be of any use because he knew his father and he wouldn’t have used the pack’s master key.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS7uobGPoB
Rowan got up in a hurry and headed to his room. He ran up the stairs, taking two at a time to reach his quarters. His father used an old bookcase in the corner of Rowan’s room to showcase some trinkets as well as his mother’s belongings. Rowan remembered as a child; his mother wore a heart shaped locket. When she opened the locket, a tiny key popped out and his father always used to tell her that it was the key to his heart. It’s romantic in a sense, but nevertheless, Rowan’s father always had an alterative motive. Rowan reached the bookcase and almost cried in relief when he saw the locked propped up over a jewellery stand. He snatched the locket and walked quickly out the room, skipping down the stairs. He opened the door to the office and was appalled at the mess he’d made. Rowan rushed to the desk and tried to fit the key in the lock.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbEFy5uBdf
Click.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxd1FN7pRk
Relieved that it worked, Rowan gently pulled the drawer toward him. It was full of pictures that he drew for his father and were neatly piled in one corner. There were Rowan’s school achievements and medals on the other side. In the middle of the drawer, resting in a case, was the book. It looked old and weathered and Rowan figured that his father locked it in the drawer to prevent it aging any more than it had.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD8PuucJpr
“Rowan? Rowan? Are you there?” a mind-link disturbed him from admiring the book. It was Alex.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJsL147UST
“Alex? Alex! I’m in the office, where are you?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJplZyzgO7
“We have been trying to reach you for days, ended up too far out. We are on the way back, just at the bridge.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvbsZhiqwq
“No one’s touched her, have they?” Rowan growled.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrTq12KHG1
“No Rowan, no one has touched her, but she does have someone with her.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxni0O0vPB
“Who?” Rowan demanded.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7cARSooHJ
“I don’t know, he is from the human village, I don’t even know if he knows she’s a wolf.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulNujIhmET
Rowan dwelled on the news that she’s with a man. He knew that he shouldn’t because they would be coming into the territory border in three…two…one. Rowan’s senses tingled over his body when someone new walked over the border. It was a way that he could help protect his pack, so in a way he was grateful.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdvs3rrsYu
“Bring her to the pack house, I will tell Alan.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulEGDTdtsG
Rowan glanced at the drawer and decided that the book would have to wait. He used the key to lock the drawer and put the locket around his neck, under the collar of his shirt. Rowan stalked out of the office to the kitchen and the Omega’s looked alarmed that he was in there.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Yay8Fd0c
“Can you please arrange the room on the other side of mine to be made with whatever Mother would have liked?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5aK0v0Wpp
Three of the eldest Omega’s stepped forward, agreed and hurried out of the kitchen. Rowan turned his attention to the others.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgSBVvMlnM
“Can I please request a full banquet tonight? I’m sorry for the late notice ladies.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxJpnDZY7R
“Yes Alpha,” they said in chorus.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ5aYThnCd
Rowan eyeballed the newest members from Alan’s pack and was impressed with how quickly they’ve adapted and adjusted. Their homes were completed and around one hundred of them wished to stay, whom all pledged to Rowan’s pack. Alan on the other hand, requested an entourage of Warriors from his own pack to have titles before he pledged and denounced his Alpha title. Rowan thought it was such a pretentious request but agreed regardless.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70AquLEFAp
The younger ones from Alan’s pack were promising fighters but the added stress had been a lot. Even though Rowan always made a point of creating a tight knit community, there were the few who felt like it was their right to tell the new ones of their place. That wasn’t how he operated and if they do the wrong thing they faced him, end of story.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdCwUY4GKs
Rowan headed back to his room to wash up before the new visitors arrived. He washed his face and changed his clothes, deciding on a formal approach. He felt nervous for the first time since the ritual, but he had no idea why and chalked it up to wanting to make a good first impression.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bXFxDsB3n
“Almost at the pack house, Rowan,” Alex sent.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoSeZ0t9a1
Rowan looked in the mirror to ensure he looked neat. He quickly re-braided his hair and stood tall, happy with his reflection. He checked the room next door. If the woman was truly his mate and as young as Alan said she was, there’s no doubt in his mind that she’s a virgin. Rowan needed to make her feel safe and comfortable before anything happened between them. He needed to show her the respect she deserved as Luna.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBP574AXE4
Rowan opened the door slightly and saw the women had completed their task and the room looked incredible. He had sent an extra request to fit out the bathroom that’s connected to the room with toiletries to make Alan’s daughter feel more welcomed. The bathroom boasted a marble double shower, a double clawed bath, a toilet, vanity and mirror. He smelt the scented soaps as they wafted through the door. He asked for the addition of sweet perfume and the nice, plush towels to which the Omega’s obliged. Our guest needs to feel like a Luna he thought.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5FfeGz4Fd
The nervousness slowly disappeared, only to be replaced with excitement. Rowan couldn’t wait to meet her and hoped that Olcan was right.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGJp2u9FCc
He made his way downstairs and mind-linked Alan, telling him to come to the pack house. Rowan gleefully didn’t tell the old man why because he thought it would be amusing to see his reaction. He heard the footsteps on the gravel driveway not far off as Rowan approached the main doors.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3DXlcM9YC
Rowan opened the door and patiently waited for Alan to arrive.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUijhnyzt9B
“What the hell is going on Alpha? We were training,” Alan questioned as he walked around the corner with his entourage.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAmUXWPn5M
Ignoring the old fool, Rowan focused on the driveway ahead and he saw their silhouettes walking up the path.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qw8Ajh6yq
“Mate!” Olcan stated excitedly. He smelt her. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YbPgtluLM
The clan didn’t look like they’ve had much trouble with the two. They walked into view out of the sunset glare and Rowan saw her. He first noticed her piercing eyes of blue, they were like the ocean and took his breath away. She had long, white-blonde hair that was up in a ponytail, out of her face. Rowan’s cock throbbed at the thought of pulling it.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsTvrUqtJP
“Down boy,” he muttered aloud. He couldn’t see the shape of her body because she was wearing clothes that were far too big which were probably the man’s she came with. The thought made Rowan mad. He got caught up in thinking this companion was her lover and developed a plan to sanction him to the cells in the basement for the rest of his life, and he didn’t realise they had reached the stairs. Rowan cleared his throat.
“Alpha Rowan, Black Alder Pack of the North,” he extended his hand out to her.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY2qy2q7GA
“Ivy,” she shook his hand but returned the blunt attitude.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX4AkXqudP
Rowan knew it was her, she was his mate. He felt the intensity of her touch and it gave him shivers. He knew she felt it when he shook her hand, she recoiled a fraction.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaawnZDrgv
“IVY!” Alan boomed. Rowan forgot that he was there, lost in Ivy’s beauty. Rowan began to gesture Ivy to introduce her friend, but Alan cut him off.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5KmDXvkVy
“Where have you been? Are you okay?” Alan said, forcefully embracing her.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4G376RfN2
“Get off her Alan, don’t touch her!” Rowan growled.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuZhhiIQqf
Anyone could see that Ivy was fuming at her father and all that Rowan wanted to do was comfort and hold her. Alan stood his ground and gaped at Rowan, like an idiot, which gave the Alpha great joy. Alan knew his place.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rnZv6lqVz
“I’m sorry Ivy, Alan has told me so much about you. Who is your friend?” Rowan asked.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBGWrhCfrd
“This is my friend Angus. Please let him go home, he has a mate, and she doesn’t know where he is, she would be worried sick,” she pleaded.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7k20qo7ry
Rowan was taken aback at the begging and pleading in Ivy’s voice. She was one step away from dropping to her knees and kissing his shoes.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCsRDK3wyB
Beg away, you will be begging for me later anyway. Rowan’s attention turned to Angus. He looked at him up and down, sizing him up if he were to be challenged.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiv8vsWRsF
“You have a free pass, you can leave,” Rowan confirmed.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGunBr262La
Ivy’s expression showed that she didn’t expect Rowan to fill her request so willingly and she was shocked and relieved all at once. However, Rowan knew he was falling down a dangerous path already, his pull to her was far greater than what anyone else had described about mate-ship. He would do anything for her already. He turned his head to Alan when Ivy spoke again.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkcuZH7G8t
“What do you want with me? Why seek me out and follow me?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsPxLTq1Dw
“Your father wanted you, it was an agreement we made. He is no longer Alpha, in return for you.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhxkUQGStG
Rowan tilted his head towards Alan.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaGE2Y4nna
“You have ten minutes with your daughter, then my office.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSsbWrnCY0
Alex followed Rowan through the foyer to the office and quickly showed him the book he’d found earlier in the day. Rowan’s worry shifted to the meeting he’d had with Ivy and groaned.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH5VT6qAAp
“That greeting was awful Alex, she must think I’m a complete prick.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGDpqymlS5
“I don’t know why you care; she is probably just as awful as her father when you get to know her.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNL5wRP8Mm
Rowan growled at him through gritted teeth. Alex stared at him, with his mouth opened.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQZ7uGM9dx
“Oh my god! Get out! She’s the one? THE ONE?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRP6chyLfu
“Keep it down Alex, the last thing I need is Alan or her finding out.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiwB6CeUt9
Alex was bursting at the seams and Rowan attempted to calm him down before Alan came through the door.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh72gr0I26
“What are you going to do about Alan?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNQAQbaQ4W
“I don’t know yet, but if her hurts her, so help me God.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ftpjKx1aR
Knock, knock. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGZecsLdpX
A faint tap on the door interrupted Rowan and Alex’s conversation. Rowan rolled his eyes at his Beta.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimEIXX7sa0
“Come in Alan.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7o6HsaL5G
To his surprise it wasn’t Alan that walked through the door. It was Ivy.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJDD1KKEni
Rowan shot out of his chair and witnessed her flinch at his abruptness. He slowed his movements, ensuring not to scare her.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xEXDQvIW1
“Ivy?” Rowan couldn’t hold his surprise.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNSLwhfV6q
“I…um…I am sorry to disturb you Alpha Rowan,” she stammered.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fnp8lz2bk
“You can call me Rowan,” she had to know surely, “What can I do for you?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOojlr0GJz
“Dad told me to come in first and properly introduce myself properly before he came in. He told me to pledge to you before he takes me home.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnSJnvwDBh
He's not taking her anywhere.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI7D8FcfD4
“Ivy there is no need to pledge to me right now, you can take your time.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaqeymun4r
Rowan moved slowly towards her and stood tall. He forgot that Alex was still in the room, as he quietly took his leave. Rowan mind-linked him as he was leaving to stand by the door. Alex replied straight away informing Rowan that Alan was already there. With his attention turned back to Ivy, whose body language showed she was much more relaxed without Alex there, Rowan gestured her to the lounge.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDmXgmMPve
“Please take a seat.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHmvKzPJUz
Ivy sat and did what she was told. Rowan thought that the submissive behaviour was odd, but it could work in his favour. Ivy kept squeezing her fingers, as she waited for Rowan to talk. She looked and felt nervous about being in another Alpha’s territory, regardless that her dad was outside the door. Her nervousness seemed to arouse Rowan and he groaned loudly.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTSpRG2MLr
“Oh, I’m sorry, am I in your seat?” Ivy asked.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZahmM9hk5
“No, you’re fine where you are. Where were we?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ES055thzw
“I’m going to get straight to the point. Why did my father come to you? He is being vague and would never give up his title so quickly. I am tired of no one telling me what is going on and I’ve had an eventful few weeks.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y8dmb2tQR
“Do you want him to tell you?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzh6XsEhL
“I am a woman; I can handle anything that he throws at me,” Ivy’s voice rose.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xIzv544SO
Rowan did nothing but stare at her, waiting for Ivy to continue her rant.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzVe2gwm9d
“I have handled being kidnapped at the hands of paid Rogues, who dragged me back to the South, ruled by a disgusting pig. I have grown a lot in that time,” she continued.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFScyXrv5s3
The mention of Harold was enough to make Rowan’s skin crawl and he wished to direct his anger to Alan and beat the shit out of him for putting her in that position. Ivy’s words came out like word vomit and clearly needed to get it off her chest. Her posture changed in the chair to a more slouched position which indicated to Rowan that she felt much more as ease.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkM9ArH8Tm
“Answer the question Ivy, do you want him to tell you? I can make him.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLUTd5rANa
She shook her head.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzPcjn05uu
“Not now, this has been a hectic time, but he angers me so much. HE did this to me.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡockWZmjhbu
Rowan wanted nothing more than to grab her and hold her, but he managed to put his emotions aside and contained himself.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjjS5MgylE
“Mm, if he angers you so much, you can stay here in the pack house for a few days. There is room prepared for you on the third floor,” Rowan offered.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8N4d0bIRK
Ivy held his gaze with shock as she knew that the top floor for most pack houses only slept wolves with titles, in particular, Alpha’s. Rowan sensed her hesitation and uncomfortableness by the pull of their bond and Ivy straightened her back in the chair.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyXjh4tluQ
“I offer this room to all my guests, it’s the room with the nicest bathroom and -,”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtszy0BDncw
“I think I would like that,” she stated.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTzuEXOC59
It was Rowan’s turn to hide his shocked expression, he wasn’t expecting her quick answer, let alone a positive one.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQz1LhSxl2
“You sound so sure; you don’t want to think about it?” he asked.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr1heQRNk0
“I don’t need to think about it. Besides it will give me a chance to see how you run your pack, what kind of Alpha you are and whether I should pledge to you. It will be good to see how the North do things.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEonda5CwG
Rowan felt chuffed at her answer and was going to make sure that she would fall in love with his territory whilst he had her there. He tried to hide his smile and before he could explain the daily routines, Alan stormed through the door.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpqALXGegY
“YOU WILL NOT STAY HERE GIRL! YOU HAVE A ROOM WITH ME!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9jixDaG88
Ivy flinched at his voice.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqscrwIgcH
“DON’T YOU DARE STORM INTO MY OFFICE WITHOUT AN INVITE WARRIOR OR I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD!” Rowan commanded.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNmtEtEWAr
Alan winced at Rowan’s threat; the Alpha command took full effect. Anger took over Rowan and Olcan pressed to come forward to teach Alan a lesson. Rowan pinched the bridge of his nose, to keep focused enough and pushed Olcan back.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWi2g6qvSv
“Stop it Olcan, we’ve scared the girl enough,” Rowan mind-linked his wolf.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVeTzUcUht
Ivy had flown off the couch and now stood closer to the fireplace.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBSG7cXABh
“Dad! Get out!” she said.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLWjAPUm87
“You will not speak to me like that young lady!” Alan spat.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxuDfGjm8d
Rowan stood in the same position and growled, he let Ivy hold her own. The confidence oozed off her and it was hypnotic to him. Ivy had gone from scared, vulnerable, and confused, to a leader within seconds. She was his Luna.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2RHV6cvH0
“I am having a conversation with an Alpha that you want me to pledge to. This is my life now, you have no say, you sent me to be abused by an empty hollow man and for what? For you to end up here!” she shouted.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF349UFpOhs
Rowan was amazed at how well she held herself against someone like Alan, regardless of the family bond. It turned him on seeing her so fired up and fierce. Alan however, pissed him off.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1cS48UEuO
“It’s not what you think -.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzmJpspyQO
Ivy’s face changed colour to almost a deep red in frustration. Her fists clenched by her side and her eyes pressed tight. The woman had been through hell and Alan certainly made her mad with his pathetic attempt at reasoning.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf132BnCie
“I SAID GET OUT DAD!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuexczCCy45
There was a huge crash as the words left her mouth. The window in the office shattered to a million pieces. Alan crouched on the floor and whimpered. He crawled out of the room with his hands held firmly against the sides of his head. Ivy’s command had no effect on Rowan. He stood and stared at her, alarmed. She returned the same emotion as she turned to stare at the hole in the wall where the window used to be. Alex rushed into the room.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmPeLVCJYA
“Is everything okay?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmRUewEjX0
He looked at the window with his mouth gaping open.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHzn09hRzm
“What happened in here?” he asked, astonished.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1raNjZEGz
Alex looked to Rowan, asking if it was him with his eyes and Rowan shook his head slightly.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXboYKwU6h
I need to read that book Rowan thought.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5k7s1UcF5
“I will ah, get that fixed right away,” stated Alex and he turned to leave.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy10yTMUUvw
“Alex,” Rowan called, “While you’re here, Alex this is Ivy and Ivy, this is Alex my Beta.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Y2f2isTo
They shook hands and Alex told her a lame joke which made her laugh. Her body immediately relaxed. Ivy’s laugh was beautiful and soft, and Rowan longed to hear it more. Alex eventually left to get the builders to repair the window.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLUMpfA9xV
“Sorry, Alex still has the mind of a child, you’ll just have to get used to him. He also stays on the third floor.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DZ1oFRkHX
“I think he is lovely and welcoming, we got to know each other a little bit on the way over here.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkex7TP327
Ivy paused for a moment, lost in thought.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYnbiSHjH6
“The third floor, you said was where my room is right?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgoW018uuc
Rowan nodded.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7iCGO5RiI
“Alex and you stay on that floor also?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0RmRAvNAI
Rowan nodded and waited for the penny to drop as she put two and two together.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsDBDbgzY5
“I can’t stay on that floor, it’s disrespectful. I am no longer an Alpha’s daughter and that crosses a line.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlCgf1SZ7b
She is a traditionalist, Rowan thought. He stared at her and tried to work out how to convince her to stay.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn1RRvCFGM
“That is where I put all my guests. I have sought you out and brought you here. That is where you’ll stay.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxMgCFj6i4
Ivy looked like she was about to protest but instead she smiled.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLaaHM6Hjb
“I suppose I’ll be happy to be treated like royalty for a few days,” she chided.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsaZxKb2fp
Rowan loved the sound of that. If only she knew that he would treat her like the Moon Goddess and would kiss the ground, she walked on just to keep her close.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjejgLCDHKV
“Do you have a dustpan and broom?” Ivy asked.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0timWDcIrq
Rowan eyed the glass on the floor and shook his head.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHfOWg2iq7
“Not in here I don’t, but the Omega’s will clean this up. Not you,” he said sternly.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSOQWCQEv1
Rowan used the opportunity to walk over to her slowly and made sure not to frighten her again. He could feel their connection and the bond, wafting over their heads. How can she not feel this? The electricity danced between them, and it was intense. Being so close to her and not able to touch her, made Rowan sweat. He could smell her scent; she smelt like sandalwood mixed with her perfume, regardless of how many days she spent unwashed in the forest. Rowan realised that he was too close, he didn’t care, and Ivy didn’t move away. He looked into her eyes and gently grabbed the outsides of her shoulders to turn her around, so she faced the door. He knew that she felt it. Goosebumps on her arm formed and he placed one hand on the small of her back to gently nudge her forward, out the door.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTAELADHqI
“Go,” Rowan whispered in her ear, “Time to show you around.” Rowan made sure that Ivy felt his warmth breath on the nape of her neck. Ivy was rooted to the ground in a daze and not moving. Rowan felt joy knowing that she felt the spark too. He moved around her to open the door for her.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8DdFFC860
“Come,” he commanded.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2fE0uBdv9
“Coming,” she whispered.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchYBAOWiSE
Yes you will be.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKPW8LPkAb
