The white wolf had remained hidden the entire time the other maned wolf appeared at his boundaries. Rage was building inside of him, not only was the little wench disrespecting his pack lands, but she was also speaking in hushed tones of what he could only assume was her begging the pathetic male to overthrow him. him. He remained in his hiding spot though, he wanted to see if his little pet Elle would do anything about this. Not only did Elle allow him into his lands without asking him, she did not defend the beast that had brought her home to look after and care for her. He could have left her to die in the woods that day. Hell he could have killed her. Rage wasn’t the only thing these wolves would be getting from him.

His eyes landed on Olya as she appeared beaten and bloodied. She must have fallen or been attacked by the rocks as she ran. His heart hurt for her and in that moment the towering male knew what he needed to do. He would banish the insufferable femme from his lands, fully intending on her coming back in to get Olya and laugh maniacally as he ripped her throat from her body. Princess or not, no one should ever disrespect the ones that allowed them refuge.

Slowly, the beast rose from his spot, fog from his lands cloaking not only him, but also the area around him. He smirked and slowly, almost like he calculated each movement, made his way to the small group. His body brushed against Elle’s ”I suggest you head back to the den now Elle. I’ll deal with you later.” He snapped out a growl and continued past the small fae. His eyes set on Lilith. Without warning his jaws wrapped around her throat and he began dragging the unsuspecting female. If she tried to fight him, he would tighten his grip on her. His jaws were larger than hers and easily wrapped around her neck. Thankfully, Elle hadn’t lead this other male to much farther into his territory and within a matter of minutes he was at the edge, tossing Lilith to the other side. His body moving in a defensive stance.

”For disrespecting not only my pack, but myself as well you are banished from these lands. You do not get to come into my home and with your hushed tones plot to overthrow me. I was standing right there you babbling idiot. Maybe you should learn to be a real wolf and use your sense of smell. None of you noticed that the Alpha was indeed here! If you so much as step foot back into this land, I have all rights to rip that small insignificant throat from your body and bath in your blood. Olya will not be leaving with you and I suggest you take the male with you as well since he has entered my lands without permission and maybe as punishment I should just kill you in front of him for fun. Olya is now my bargaining chip. If you want no harm to come to her, then leave. If and when I deem she is healthy and can travel. I may decide to send her back to you. Now leave.”

He blocked Olya’s path to her master if she had ran after her from Siku dragging her. He was not going to allow the fae he enjoyed to be treated as a possession any longer. He was going to wait until Lilith was gone and then he’d allow Olya free reign of the pack. He wanted her to learn to be independent, to get to figure out what life without a leash was like and during that time he would protect her and court her. He knew she deserved something more than the life this idiotic brat had given her. His face turns back to Lilith. ”I said leave! Or I will kill you where you stand!” He snarled out and got into a position to fight once more.
