Chapter 15
At night, Lamia crept toward the dungeon, hiding under the shadows of a maid’s disguise. She didn’t want to be recognized, she arrived at the cell where Gin was, in a low voice she expressed.
“Gin, don’t say it was I who urged you to attack the princess. I talked to Grandpa, he promised to talk to the rest of the wolves in the council to get you out of here. He will take it upon himself to convince Eros that you just wanted to see if the princess was okay, but you were flustered when you saw the alpha’s hand grabbing your wrist. You didn’t mean to hurt anyone. You know that Eros obeys the council of elders.
“Mrs. Lamia, Alpha Eros was furious. He will kill me. Didn’t you hear when he said it was his daughter? He almost hurt his daughter.” Gin desperately began to cry. I don’t want to live locked up in this dungeon. I also don’t want to die eaten by rats.
“Don’t worry, my grandfather will talk to Eros,” Lamia said calmly, then her tone suddenly changed to rage expelling. Besides, the omega won’t be happy if he goes around saying she’s, his daughter. We all know that since that omega left, they haven’t seen each other until now that she came back as the supposed queen of the northern lands,” he added, hinting at his frustration at the thought that the omega had achieved what she hadn’t.
Gin felt somewhat calmer as he listened to Lamia’s words. She didn’t want to spend the rest of her life locked up, surrounded by rats.
Danna was in her daughter’s room, who was visibly sad because she wanted to continue playing with the alpha. In a soft voice, his mother explained to him that he should not abuse the alpha’s hospitality.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“My puppy, it’s not appropriate to abuse Alpha Eros’ time,” Danna said tenderly, stroking her daughter’s hair. He has multiple responsibilities and is busy with his people right now.
“Mommy, the alpha is very handsome and kind, I like to talk and play with him,” I protest pouting.
“Puppy, you know we adults have to work and most of the time we’re busy with pack business,” Danna explained with a smile. The alpha of alphas has a responsibility to protect an entire nation, which means you can’t watch them whenever you want. Starting tomorrow, Gina will take care of you and take you for a walk around the mansion so you don’t feel bored. Please promise me that you won’t be looking for the alpha Eros.
Eos shrugged his shoulders and with sadness on his little face only attended with his little head.
The next morning, Gina, a sweet omega, and daughter of Ophelia, entered the room, waking the little girl. He kindly helped her clean up.
“Princess, let’s have breakfast, and then I’ll go for a walk.”
Eos was guided by Gina. When he reached the dining room, his eyes lit up. She forgot what her mother told her, she ran and hugged the alpha, who received her gladly, her princess soothed her pain.
“Handsome Alpha, can I sit with you and help me eat?” Eos asked with a tender pout.
With a smile, Alpha Eros nodded and, “Of course, princess. Just tidy up your villages and I’ll fulfill your wishes ,” he replied with a smile, he placed the girl next to him and excitedly, began to give her food in his mouth.
Maya looked at the scene with amusement, now she understood the call of blood. She was present when Danna was talking to her daughter. He gave Eros a gentle look to say.
“Alpha, you shouldn’t indulge her. She’s going to take advantage of you and have you eating out of her little hands.
“Aunt Maya, the handsome alpha is mine. I’m not going to lend it to you. I’d better give you Uncle Ares so he can spoil you,” Eos blurted out, narrowing his eyes.
“If Ares listened to you, you changed him to an alpha.” Maya said, laughing at the girl’s witticisms.
Danna came to the table and a cold sweat ran down her body as she saw the scene. She wanted to give her daughter a good spanking, since the night before they had talked to her about how she should behave in front of the alpha and it is the first thing she does. He gave a big sigh to soothe his annoyance. As he sat down, it crossed his mind, “What should I do, that this little girl will listen to me?” He could only say.
“Good morning, enjoy your meal.”
“Good morning, Danna. Still, enjoy the food,” Eurides said with a warm smile.
“Your Majesty, good morning. The dungeon guards know that you will be the one to dispose of Gin’s punishment. You can go whenever you want,” Eros said calmly as he wiped his daughter’s mouth. Eos frolicking, I take advantage and embrace the arm of Eros.
Danna looked at them sideways, feeling uncomfortable. She didn’t understand why the goddess Selene had put her in this situation. She whispered mentally, “If it weren’t for my position as queen, I swear to you Eros that I would take my daughter from your side.” she wondered “Why is it complicated to tell Eos not to go near her father, or to ask Eros to reject his daughter?”
When everyone had finished eating, the queen spoke in a cold tone.
“Gina, take Eos for a walk.” I want to talk to the alpha for a moment.
Everyone looked at each other’s faces and walked out of the dining room. Gina took the princess by the hand and, before leaving, Eos gave Eros a kiss on the cheek, leaving Danna angrier. When they were alone, she screamed in an icy and surly way.
“Alpha Eros, I didn’t tell you not to get close to my daughter, for your sake I recommend that you don’t get attached to Eos. When I’m done helping you with the region’s recovery, we’ll leave.
Eros set out to reach Danna’s heart and obtain her forgiveness. With a soft, warm gaze he spoke.
“Your Majesty, Princess Eos came to me to help her eat, and it would be impolite of me to refuse her request.
Danna hated to see him like that. Now she didn’t need his kindness, he just wanted her to get away from her daughter.
“If Eos comes to you again, it’s your duty to reject her and tell her that you’re busy or can’t attend to her. She’s a child and she’ll understand.
He had an internal conflict. He didn’t want to infuriate Danna. He searched his head for the right words to calm his beast.
“Your Majesty, you are our guests, and it would be impolite to treat the princess badly in front of those present. I know you don’t want me to get close to the princess, but I can’t turn her down if she asks for my help, because she’ll think I’m a bad alpha and be afraid of me. Like any child, if you forbid him something, he will be curious and will look for that something. This calm queen that soon the princess will stop looking for me.
“I hope so, Alpha Eros, because I don’t want people or the council of old wolves to be talking about the alpha having an interest in a girl who isn’t from this pack. I recommend that you accept my rejection and find another she-wolf to be your moon and have your own cubs. She replied firmly.
Eros was stunned by Danna’s words. How did he make her understand that he wasn’t going to push his daughter away from him, let alone accept her rejection? He let out a big sigh, feeling the need to confess the agony he had experienced for the past five years.
“Queen, my people don’t have to speak ill of the princess, they and the alphas of other herds are happy because the rivers that dried up have regained their channels and their fields are harvesting. People are glad that he treats his majesty and the princess well. Besides, I can’t have intimate desires for other she-wolves. He let out a choked sigh and sadly continued. That was the one punished by the goddess Selene for mistreating my mate, my pack will lack a moon when my mother is gone.
Danna opened her eyes in surprise at such a revelation. You would never have imagined that. Restless, she asked.
“How does he know you can’t have a desire for other wolves?”
“I can’t reciprocate a she-wolf in bed. My sexual appetite has vanished since you left my side, and I’m not ashamed to tell you. Because I accepted my punishment for the suffering, I cause you. So, I won’t have any offspring other than Eos. It pains me to know that I won’t be able to enjoy my only daughter when you leave here. But at least I know I had a daughter with the woman I’ve loved since I met her, and that makes me happy. I hope that at some point in my life your majesty will forgive me.” Eros did not give up hope of obtaining his forgiveness.
“You know you deserve that and many more punishments from the goddess Selene, too bad the pack has to suffer for your actions, they are not to blame for the alpha who touched them,” Danna said, rising suddenly. He turned his back on Eros and hurried out of the dining room.
