Chapter 175

175 About Setting A Good Example

Ronan stared at Lucien. His gaze spoke a thousand words, but he simplified them down to a statement.

“Lucien, we did more than just kissing.”

His cheek glowing pink from hearing Ronan’s words, Lucien dragged Ronan to a corner.

“I know,” he hissed in a low voice.

Ronan gave him a look full of disbelief.

“We had sex. A lot, if you remember. Both in human form as well as... Mmff!!”

Lucien pressed a hand against Ronan’s lips.

“Shut up!” He hissed urgently. “I forbid you from speaking about it ever again!”

Although there was nothing wrong with Beowulf and Landon having sex, Lucien still felt uncomfortable talking about it.

.....

Ronan’s gaze drifted to the many Alphas and Betas in the crowd, and his eyes happened to meet with Annalynne’s.

“Seriously?” He asked, his face darkened in an instant.

“Is this the first rule that Annalynne enforced after becoming an Alpha? Forbidding you from sleeping with me?”

“No!” Lucien quickly denied it.

Goddess forbade what Ronan would do if that were true. He might start an argument with Annalynne on spot, ignoring the time, place, and occasion. Ronan was shameless like that. Lucien knew him well enough to say that.

“Then what is it?” Ronan asked with a growl of displeasure. “Why can we not go beyond kissing?”

“Because! I already told you that I want to set a good example for Annalynne.”

Lucien then told Ronan all about the Alpha competition, how it started and ended, the start of Annalynne’s and Lowell’s love story, and the conversation that the siblings had before the crowning ceremony took place.

Ronan’s jaw dropped open.

“Lulu, she is a big girl. If she wants to have sex, let her.”

Lucien was enraged.

“What do you mean, let her?? It is as if you don’t know how the werewolf community sees women who practice debauchery!”

Of course Ronan knew.

Male werewolves could go and have sex with anyone before they established a mating bond with a she-wolf.

She-wolves did not share the same privilege. Once they lost their virginities to anyone other than their mates, they were often considered damaged goods and earned spite and mockery from others.

It was even worse when they got pregnant by men who refused to take responsibility for both the women and the pups.

The family members of the pregnant women might just disown them. Most of these pregnant women ended up as rogue she-wolves. Surviving was difficult enough without pack support, let alone surviving with pups in their bellies.

This was the main reason why Ronan helped out as many rogue she-wolves as he could. He did not even demand them to serve him in bed initially. When their heat arrived, they automatically sought him to vent their pent-up desire.

As a grown-up man with a healthy sexual appetite, Ronan of course did not refuse their advances. He rolled with them between the sheets and earned the notorious reputation of being a playboy just like that.

The Alpha sighed as he recalled his debauched affairs back then.

“Lulu, she is the Alpha now,” Ronan calmly said. “You can’t tell her what to do and what not.”

The man in front of him straightened his robe and scowled at Ronan.

“Thankfully, Anna still sees me as her big brother. As long as I do what I preach, she will not be careless in her relationship with Lowell.”

Ronan shook his head. Well. Good that he already planned to propose to Lucien, then. Otherwise, he would have to be abstinent for a long time. Ronan shivered at the mere thought.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Please?” Lucien begged, cupping Ronan’s face with both hands. “Just until we know what kind of person Lowell is.”

Ronan pulled Lucien into an embrace and planted a kiss on Lucien’s lips.

“Say, Lulu. What is your thought about the way werewolf society treats she-wolves? Should rogue she-wolves really be punished for having sexual relations outside of marriage?”

Lucien shook his head gently.

“Of course not,” he sighed. “But then again I also disagree with the notion that everyone can have sex with anyone they wanted and sire pups that end up having no fathers to look up to.”

Ronan had to agree.

Unfortunately, the young werewolves were eager to have sex but they did not care much about the she-wolves that they slept with, let alone about the pups that said she-wolves gave birth to. The she-wolves ended up suffering, yes, but the pups suffered even more.

“If you were a girl, would you refuse to have sex with me when we met at Alpha Camp then?” Ronan asked out of curiosity.

Lucien’s eyes softened.

“If I were a girl, I can ensure you that I will not sleep with you that quickly. As an Alpha’s daughter, the pressure to be prim and proper is unbearable.”

Ronan slid his hand into Lucien’s hair and smiled mischievously.

“I might seduce you every second of the day, though.”

Lucien chuckled.

“If I did it with you as a girl and fell pregnant with our child, would you be willing to marry me?”

What a question.

Ronan grinned and gave Lucien another kiss before he answered.

“I would drag you and our unborn child to this very temple and demand for the High Seer to marry us on spot,” he declared. “And then I would go back to my father, take whatever beating he dished me, and return to your side. If we were both kicked out of our packs, we would live happily somewhere else. I know that my mother will help us still.”

It all sounded so simple when Ronan said it. Lucien could not help but laugh at his naivete. In what world would Dane Silverback let go of his precious son?

“I love you,” Lucien whispered while tracing Ronan’s powerful jawline.

“I love you more,” Ronan whispered back, taking Lucien’s hand into his and kissing the knuckles.

“So I guess you cannot come to live in my pack starting from today?”

Lucien shook his head in regret.

“No, I am sorry.”

“Alright then, let me take you out on a date.”

Stunned, Lucien blinked at Ronan who flashed him a roguish smile.
