"No! I'll have my own Alpha."

The statement was loud and clear, drawing all eyes on Yuri in instant, especially Yena. Her eyes dilated as Yuri had never told her anything about this, leaving her in a blank state.

"So, in another word, you want to dethrone me, don't you? What if I disagree to your condition? You do know that all of you are in my territory now," Lloyd threw a sharp glance, chin raised.

"If that's the case then consider it as your loss. Do you know why I'm bringing my friends here despite the danger? I have told them to kill me right here and right now supposed you're trying to act foolish. You do know how long you have waited for a new Luna to appear," Yuri stated, or most likely threatening, her eyes brimming with confidence that the Alpha wouldn't dare to disagree after she pulled the card.

Again, the other girls didn't make any sound. The air in that room grew thicker on Yena's skin. She has yet to comprehend all the situations but she knew where the discussion is going, and she knew Yuri got the upper hand. So she stays silent although something is bothering her.

Small chuckle came from Lloyd, this is just his third time meeting with Yuri but however each encounter seemed to always be as amusing as ever for him. He bit his lower lip then nodded, "Alright, do as you please." After some consideration he just didn't care with anything else anymore, beside the fact that the sooner Yuri becomes the next Luna, the better it's for him too. "Make it in five days and said no more," he added.

Chaewon wanted to protest for the short time Lloyd uttered, but the man had already been walking away from his stand. Clearly not wanting any more delay.

As he stepped out, he whispered something to the guard just outside the hall before he shifted body, turning back to the girls. "Also, please make yourself at home. This castle will be your home soon, anyway," he said, leaving once again.

The guard then came inside the room, "I have been told to escort you all to your rooms, please follow me." He began to walk his way around which the girls obliged to follow.

They went through the long corridor on second floor, to the western part of the building which contains of bedrooms. After showing the room, the escort excused himself then. Each room has two beds inside and the space isn't too large, but not too cramped either; it was enough.

Once inside and feeling sure that the guard has left, Yena quickly grabbed Yuri's wrist. "What was that?" she asked, stern.

"What was what?"

"About bringing your friends here??? What do you intend to do?"

"You heard me, I said what I needed to say to make him accept my term," Yuri answered, tucking a hair behind ear with her free hand.

"That was such a rash bluff, Yuri. You know I will never let anyone lay a finger on you, let alone the killing part," Yena loosened her grip but her eyes are dead serious.
