Chapter 148 - Part Of The Pack

"I have already brought you in the marsh I was handling alone since age.

If it is only fair if you take me to your blog. And do you think I am the kind of woman who feels scared or hides from adversities.

In fact, I would be delighted if I could be part of the battle you are fighting!"

"....." a ray of light shone in his dark eyes when he looked at the girl who was smiling all ears to him. He knew that she was only talking about sharing the responsibilities, yet he felt that a strong connection was formed with her innocent words.

"Mmm" he hummed and looked away from the bright light of her eyes that was blinding him. She did not know why he felt like he would get lost in it if he continued to look at her.

"Then shall we go?" oblivious to the storm he was facing, she dabbed her mouth with the napkin and held his hands.

But just when they turned to leave her parents were done with the conversation too.

Though Diana was sitting in the corner all this time, her eyes were on the couple from time to time as if she was trying to know their deepest secrets by keeping an eye on them.

George who was busy in showing off his wealth and connections. Finally returned when even the barons left.

"That was a great time I had after a long time." he mumbled with a chuckle as he stood in front of Hazel and Richard.

"Young man, though our start was not good, but you are already my son in law now. So, why don't we have a new start! 

You can come and join my work. I will find an appropriate position for you in office after checking your qualifications.'' Even if Richard would not have any good qualifications, he would make sure that he would at least give a good post to Richard so that the crown prince would be satisfied.

George knew that Richard was the key to his better future. So, he would secure it as its best!

As if reading all his thoughts, a cynical smile formed on the face of Richard as he felt the naivety of the man calling himself his father! Did he even know the cost of being his father!

"You do not need to be worried about that. I have a better post and i earn far more than you can ever think of!'' The voice was cold and terrifying as if it had come from the depth of hell every time he heard Richard speaking. 

It left a tingling fear all over his body. As Richard's voice demanded complete obedience, George was not able to go against it even when he wanted to force Richard to join him.

"That..! then it is fine! If you need any kind of help, I am always here to support you. He continued as he did not know what else to say looking at the man with intimidating presence as if he was mocking his words.

Getting closer to the couple was more troublesome than he had thought.

"Yes! I want you to leave me alone!" With that Richard held Hazel's hand and walked away from there making Hazel chuckle and George stunned.

"You were savage there!" she mumbled as they walked out of the palace but did not take the way to the stable or where the carriage was standing.

"I am a beast! Remember." he shrugged his shoulders and she shook her head.

Why had she not noticed that he was so brazen and savage before!

"Where are we going? Wouldn't taking a carriage save time?" she asked as they had already crossed the bridge and walked towards the back of the palace towards the place where they had met for the first time.

"We are not going too far. Only to the place where I have seen you for the first time!" he whispered, making her more confused.

Why were they going there suddenly when it was closer to midnight?

The sky was clear tonight and the full moon was leaving its silver rays all over the place.

Since he did not explain further, she followed him without any word when he walked a bit more and stopped suddenly.

"So.." 'why have they stopped in the middle of nowhere?'' She raised a brow and looked around. No matter how far she looked, she could not find anything that would have attracted his attention.

"Hazel, since you know about me, you would have idea that all my subordinates and the place where i live are wolves?" he asked and she nodded her head,

Though not much, she had come to know that he was an alpha of the Elsinore land and that way she would rule them as luna.

"We all are connected with our mind links that had been attached through our blood. That helps us in knowing the position of each other and reaching out to them at the time of emergencies!" he explained and she nodded.

She had seen him talking in their minds except for Ranold. That was why she was so surprised and curious when she saw them talking verbally.

"Do you find it scary?" she frowned as she did not understand where the conversation was going on but she shook her head.

"No! In fact, I think it is rather fascinating. To be attached with mind and heart with so many people." she replied honestly and he looked relieved,

His stiff face loosen and a small smile bloomed on his lips, and she finally realized why he had brought her here and why was he asking her so many questions,

"Hazel, i was not sure before so i have asked Ranold to confirm it,

And tonight, he told me that it is possible to even connect non werewolves with the mind link by marking them or mixing their blood.

So, do you want to be part of the pack now?"
