Howl To My Heart

Chapter 15

" Here you go ," Dima spoke , placing a plate of food before me ,where I sat in the Alpha King's study .

Dmitri took up my fork to test if there was poison. Should someone try to deter him from eating , he'll know that my food was poisoned .... Again.

" Um...thanks ," I muttered , eyeing Dmitri as he shoved some eggs into his mouth .

Dima only bowed his head before moving backwards to take a seat on a chair against the wall.

Dmitri handed me back my fork . I , strangely , wasn't squeamish at having to eat with the same fork he had .

Was that the mate bond?.

" No , " he whispered to me , ignoring his father's questioning stare .

I shoveled some eggs into my mouth instead of saying something to him.

There's so much I still have to learn about being who I am . About being a Wolf.

It made me feel dumb whenever I had to ask something about it.

He watched me eat with amusement shining in his eyes , as he leaned on his elbow , his hand tuck under his chin and cheek . Of course he knew what I was thinking .

I tried to pace myself as I ate.  It wouldn't do to choke on my food .

I still had to hear what the Alpha King had to say .

I didn't really want to hear anything , but I have no choice . He is the Alpha King, and even if I'm a citizen of the Human territories , I am still a Humanised and that meant I'm under his rule .

That sucked , really .

I really didn't want to be under his rule .

I ate everything on my plate and felt much better afterwards , when I sipped my orange juice.

The Alpha King waved a hand towards my plate.
" Dima , take away her plate and thank Noriko for me ."

Dima stood up and bowed at the Alpha King ." My Lord ," he said .

He moved to take the plate and then left the study leaving only myself, the Alpha King, Olaf and Dmitri in the room .

There was a pregnant silence in the room . It was deafening .

I hated it .

Dmitri had moved closer to me once I had finished eating , his arms holding me close to him .

" Uhem," the Alpha King cleared his throat and continued, " Now that you're fed and watered , we might as well begin. The Council and I have decided that you , Alva Sorenson , are allowed to tour the territories with your fellow classmates . We will also be granting my son the chance to escort you . We have not yet decided if you are to remain in our territories or if you should be banished .  Once that decision is made we will speak to you about it . "

He folded his hands on the desk before him and leveled me with a stare that made me feel so incredibly small .

" Furthermore , you are to ,under no circumstances , cause trouble for the people of the Wolf territories whatsoever , or there shall be sure consequences. As of now , being in the territories as a Humanised , you are considered one of the people . That grants us the authority to pass judgement over you should you cause trouble for other Wolves. "

He looked towards Dmitri .

" She is to remain under your observation at any time, all the time , understand ?".

Dmitri nodded ." Yes ,Father ."

" Good. I shall hold you to that , Dmitri. Now do  you have any questions regarding your origins ,Miss Sorenson ?."
