The Demon Wolf

Chapter 10

It took Kevin a long while to summon the willpower to enter his headquarters. He was ashamed and hurt. He was happy that Stefan hadn't questioned him before his mate. He hadn't even asked about what had happened.But he had an inkling. Maybe his brother knew what exactly was going on. So he hadn't coerced him into saying what had happened.

But his pack was a different case. He had a few respected elders. And then he had his Beta and Gamma. They had wanted his mate to be gone. And the absurd thought pained him that he himself had wanted his mate gone.

But now he was here to confess that the rumoured demon was his mate. And they had mated yesterday. His mate whom everyone believed to be a demon was actually sweet and sexy. Goddess he hated that he was starting to sound like Devon. But it was the only truth. And he also knew that none of the elders, sebastian and Markian would agree to it. But he had to try. And He would for Evan.

“Good morning, Kevin,” Elder Bella greeted him, her wrinkled face soothed into a half smile. Not bothering to call him Alpha. He was an Alpha and he deserved to be greeted properly. But she was always like that.

“Bella,” Kevin said stiffly, purposefully leaving out the respectful “Elder”. Kevin only gave his respect to those who deserved it, to those who in turn respected him. Bella had not given it to him, so why should he?

The Elder looked a little irritated, but she soothed it over quickly. “Had a pleasant night, I hope?” the old women went on.Trying to gauge out the reaction.A shout of anger to deny the question. “It certainly….looks like it.” Kevin answered with a pleasant smile. His mate's thoughts are enough to pull him out of his thought. Her dark eyes flicked down, to the very obvious bruises all over Kevin neck and under his jaw. Oh the art of hickeys. His mate surely took a liking to it. And had marked him as much as he could

“so much better that you can't even imagine” Kevin snarked. Bella pursed her lips.

“I heard you the first time Kevin. What were you thinking. Copulating with the Demon. Wait till the other elders hear you,” she said casually. That had Kevin's anger flaring.

“How dare you, How dare you belittle him?” The Elder’s sly expression turned shocked.

“I need an audience with the elders and the beta and the gamma, call everyone at once” Kevin said as he stopped glaring at the Elder. "What? What is this all about? You have rarely spoken to me like this before.Just what are you up to, ?” Bella asked. 

“Are you questioning what I should do? besides bedding Evan?” Kevin asked with false innocence. Bella’s mouth twisted.

“I am. And I’m thinking that I’m quite right, aren’t I?” Bella took Kevin's silence as confirmation. “The Demon enticed you .”

Kevin folded his hands. "Do as you are told Elder Bella"

“ Is it a difficult job Kevin? Do you need more time, to be sure of the Demon’s interest and dedication in you.  We can wait untill he is fully invested in you.Untill he is wrapped around your finger. Then you can surely dispose him off”

Kevin stared at him in disbelief. He knew that Bella was against the Alliance. But this was more than he could have imagined. There was indeed a talk to restrain him and kill him but not so fast. He felt sick in stomach

“How dare you,” he hissed, he was close to wolfing out. Bella wisely took a step back.

“I shall inform the others.”
