"We all greet our alpha female, the guild master!"

Asha and Tarik heard the commotion as they walk towards the docking area. She have expected these mermen to cause a disturbance at the docks today. That's the reason why she sent Zeev and some of the wolves to be the ones guarding the docks. She raised a brow when she felt an aura release from Merrik.

These stinky fishes have the audacity to even provoke us? Master, should we even let them in?

Asha strokes his hair to calm him down when they arrived. All the mermen are looking at the two of them. A gaze directed towards her is making her uncomfortable. She scans the crowd and there she knew where the gaze is coming from as their eyes meet.

My night goddess... she is real....

Merrik was staring at her dreamily. She is even more beautiful and dazzling this close. Her beautiful red hair and pale skin... those curves that are now being covered with a furry white cloak made of a silver fox pelt can't be seen but he can still vividly remember it all like he saw her just yesterday. He's mesmerized again. He can't keep his eyes from staring at her beautiful face. He wants to touch her just to be sure he's not hallucinating again.

Tarik can see the desire from Merrik's eyes. It is directly aimed at his master and it's making him mad. He now understood what the snake beast is always feeling whenever other males are shamelessly showing how these horny bastards lust for their wife. It made him growl and cover his wife with his body so the merman won't be able to look at her. Everyone can see and feel the hostility that is now being shown by the two opposing groups. This aggression was interrupted when Ebba shouted while pointing at Asha.

"Brother! That is the female who almost killed me and my mates! She even has the boldness to steal my Dumu from me! Kill her brother!"

All the wolves are now in their attacking stance as they growl and glare fiercely at Ebba who hides again behind Merrik. The other mermen steps forward as they guard their king. Ervin steps forward too.

"Is it true that you tried to kill the sister of His Grace? This impertinence will not be allowed!"

Tarik let Asha down after she whispered some soothing words in his ears for he is getting furious at the mermen in front of them. He growls angrily as he looks at Ervin. He have his claws out as he glares at the group of mermen while protecting his wife's body with his. Asha continues to soothe his anger by stroking his arm that have his claws out. Merrik saw this intimate gesture shared by the two mates that made him envy the male with her.

"What is not allowed? Me trying to kill that spoiled brat of a female with her stupid mates? First of all, remember where you guys are right now. This is Not the kingdom of Adira Nor the sea of Varuna. The islands at the edge of the beast world belongs to the Bridges Guild along with the sea of Jonas. You have no authority while you are in here.

As for that female and her mates, they have trespassed and dared to invade our island by claiming it. You are lucky I was not in a bad mood at that time that you didn't received their dead bodies instead. And to the merman who dares to talk to me disrespectfully, no need to tell me your name for I don't forget faces who owes me their life...."

"Why you...."

Ervin was about to attack when Merrik stopped and blocked him with his arm. Asha looks at him as both their eyes meet.

"As a leader of a kingdom, I would like to ask you, king of Adira. If someone trespassed, caused a disturbance, disrespected you in your own land, and even tried to claim that your territory is theirs, how will you deal with it?"

Merrik smirks at her, "I would have killed them, no questions asked."

Asha smirks at him back, "do you think I'm still being merciful for what I did to your sister? She even tries to claim my husband. Can you please teach your sister how to handle rejection? It seems that she can't get over being rejected many times and remain delusional that my husband likes her. I let Dumu stay at home because he is certain that she will show up today and we all know how short-tempered he is. He might fillet a fish Accidentally if provoked. And my husband was right. She Is here... she said that crocodiles have ugly scales... but she is more thick-skinned than them..," Asha raised an eyebrow as she looks at Ebba with a straight face.
