ByronI still feel the pain from the wound on the side of my lips because of my fight with Beltran the other day, I didn't expect him to react so strongly because of what I did but I also can't blame him because he doesn't want to ruin the image of our family.But what happened to me and my father was the most unexpected of all, I never thought he would be able to hurt me in front of others. I feel like my whole being has been trampled on in front of Beatrix and her low-ranked Alpha.It's like when we were kids, I always hid behind Beltran so I wouldn't be scolded whenever I did something bad. Beltran always shares the punishments that should have been mine alone, he proved to be a brother to me, he became my friend, my protector, my guardian, and it should be our Father’s duty.But even so, he did not complain or resent me. He never tired of scolding and correcting me for all the wrong things I was doing, which until now he was still able to block himself just to save me from our fat
BEATRIXI don't understand if the weather is hot or cold, sweat keeps coming out of my forehead but the coldness of my hand makes me want to laugh at myself, I don't know why I'm nervous about what he will tell me. I said I would let him explain but can I really believe what he says and just forget what I heard from Byron?Did he feel the same way when he found out about me using him? The feeling of being betrayed and used? I'm not sure if what Byron said was true, and I don't know if Rayton has the reason why he said something like that.I know for myself that I should not think this way, Rayton is different. The man in front of me is pure and lovely, he will never use someone for his sake. I should stop myself from overthinking without hearing his explanation yet my whole body shaking with the thought what if he meant his words that time?Too many ‘what ifs’ lingering in my head, but I can't bear to hear the answers to each of those what if's.The negative emotions I hardly tried to
Back to the third point of viewA few days after, no one tried to talk about what happened even those servants who were present at that time kept their mouths shut as if they were mute and deaf in favor of Beatrix and Byron. They don’t need to put an effort to stop any issue outside the family.Another thing is that the event for different packs where there will be a tournament will be held earlier than what Beatrix expected, this will happen before their wedding ceremony. Byron who still has bruises on his face did not dare to face all the representatives of different packs who had already gone to the south.Beatrix tried her best to accommodate everyone though, as expected, different wolves from different packs are still not favorable to her as the chief of the south. Some of them prefer Beltran rather than her to welcome them.In this situation, Beatrix felt more depressed. Rayton hasn’t talked to the woman ever since that day until now, which makes her mood even worst. She doesn’t
"What did you say to her?" Lucy turned around and was shocked to see who own of the voice, it was Rayton. He leaned his back against the wall. He looked at her as if he was questioning the woman's presence on the Southern border. “Also, what does Raycon have in mind to send his fiancé as representative of our pack?”Rayton already despite the idea of his brother, it only makes their pack even more ridiculous to others. Not because there is a woman in their representative but because which sane Alpha is willing to put his fiancé to an event that can harm it?“What are you worried about, if you think that I said something bad to your fiancé then you have nothing to worry about.” Lucy returned how the man treated her, she knew that her fiancé’s brother did not like her that much in the first place. Lucy doesn’t know the reason why, but she’s not even interested to give her damn time to ask.“I am not worried about if you said something bad to her because I know you wouldn't dare to do
“Excuse me,” The voice caught the attention of the two at the same time.Beatrix was looking for Rayton for a few minutes, after she heard the words from Lucy, she dared to talk to Rayton and fix whatever the problem was between them. But seeing the two together as if they were having a deep conversation about their pack made her unable to like it.Being born on a different border is a disadvantage for them, talking about the pack with Rayton is hard for Beatrix, they both are not familiar with their packs at all. She is aware that the woman with him right now is already taken by his brother but she can’t help to feel jealous.With the words Lucy said to Beatrix, she already knew that the woman is far way better than her. Beatrix can’t help to feel antsy, what if Lucy is the kind of woman Rayton wants? (a very misunderstanding) “Oh, Rayron’s fiancé!” Lucy excitedly said without thinking, not bothered to know her name. “Sorry if I borrowed your man for minutes, I’m sure you look for h
Things went smoothly and the start of the event became lively, both Beatrix and Beltran are busy doing their best as the host of the event. While Byron stayed in his room to not cause an issue between the participants.Some still tried to mess with Beatrix's mood every minute of every day, however, Rayton doesn't let that happen. If he could stay next for twenty-four seven next to Beatrix, he would. But as one of the representatives of the Southern border, he’s busier than Beatrix.Rayton thinks it’s funny to see how he will represent the southern border, while he will against his pack. Fighting with the wolves he’s been with for all his life practicing every kind of one on one combat, he felt some kind of nostalgia.But at some point, he can’t bring himself to walk toward them to talk and ask how’s their life after he left. After all, some of the representatives of the northern border are not close to him. Rayton thinks that he will only make things awkward.“Aren’t you going to say
Beltran only managed a forced smile, he knows in himself that he shouldn't be the one apologizing for everything that happened, but what can he do if he knows everything but his father and brother have no intention of correcting everything?Beltran couldn't deny that he knew the reason for everything Byron was doing, it was all for him, he’s happy because he knows that his brother thinks of him, but he can't see Byron destroying himself just to get something for him. He's the older one, he's the one who should do something for his younger brother."But still, they are my family and their blood runs through my veins. Whatever sin they have committed is also my sin, I know you are only doing all this to get revenge and get everything that Father has. I wanted to stop them and help you, but you know that I can't do that.” Beltran said as he bowed his head in shame.“You don’t need to do anything, Beltran. Not tolerating your brother is enough, don’t do anything that makes Byron feels you
On the first day of the event started, not even one of the wolves showed weakness. All of them have shown how competitive they are when it comes to such things. The representative of the northern border also did not miss the opportunity to show that they are no longer the Norther wolves they used to know, which makes Rayton feel some pride even when they are not on the same team for now.But Rayton knew in himself that most of the wolves he faced had not yet shown their true strength when it came to fighting, it was very impossible for the first-rank warriors to take the simple task seriously. To add more, He couldn't help but feel insulted especially when the Alphas and betas from the western border looked at him.He remembered the experience that he had almost forgotten, he felt that they belittled him every time their eyes looked at him. An Alpha looked at him again and smirked, the insult obvious. He wanted to talk to them yet he’s afraid it might cause a scene that makes Beatrix
