Chapter Six

It Looked Delicious

Lilly

An awkward silence follows my movement. I just stand there, stupidly so, in front of Alpha Lucas. I try to open my mouth to say something, but I find that my reasoning fled out of the window the moment I stood. So I just stupidly close my mouth again.

Alpha Lucas, who is looking all majestic and prestigious while sitting on the throne, just calmly sits there and waits for me to rescue myself from his awkward situation.

"Uhm. You know. Ahh." Great. I stupidly say as I awkwardly stand in front of him. I should have just kept my mouth shut. It would look awkward but not this stupid.

The great Alpha in front of me put his elbow in the side of the throne and put his head on his hand. One of his hands reaches out to me and holds my hand.

"Yes?" He calmly asks me. His face still doesn't betray any emotions, and for the first time since I met him, I am glad of his poker face. He doesn't laugh at me, or at least, he does not show it on his face.

"Uhm you know. Well, since this is the first pack meeting since you became Alpha, uhm. Haha."

*Preposterous.*

What the?

Who is this voice in my head? I have a wolf? No way, this presence is not that of a wolf. It only feels like a personality inside my mind, talking to me. There is not a hint of energy from it. Am I going crazy? Maybe I badly want to have a wolf that my mind is playing tricks on me.

Well, whatever. I stood up here because of this voice, and now it is looking down on me. If it is really a product of my blasted mind, then shouldn't it give me an idea on how to get away from this?

I have this little debate in my head while the Alpha just comfortably sits and lazily checks out my fingers. We look like two people alone by themselves who have all the time in the world. The anxiously scared crowd on my back is momentarily forgotten.

It is not until Alpha Lucas takes my hand into his mouth and bite one of my fingers that I come back from my internal debate. I reflexively take my hand back from him and look at him with wide eyes. My mind is filled with only one question. Why would he bite my finger?

Alpha Lucas raises his chin like he is daring me to question his action.

I, of course, want to question him. But since he is an Alpha, and an Alpha who is presently sitting on the throne of King Eleazar, my question fails to materialize.

Maybe because he is feeling generous, Alpha Lucas answers my question without waiting for me to ask it.

"It looked delicious." He seriously says. His face has no hint of the shamelessness of his action. After all, we are in front of the whole pack.

Speaking of the whole pack, I suddenly realize that I am trying to save the lives of the pack members from the wrath of this shameless Alpha in front of me.

The moment I remember the predicament I am in, the stares on my back became painfully obvious. I unconsciously touch my nose due to the awkwardness of the situation. Well, I am sure that something is going to be very unpleasant if I allow Alpha Lucas to proceed with this meeting. So, I decide to just say anything that comes into my mind to avoid that from happening.

I clear my throat twice, and the expressionless Alpha just lazily tilts his head to his hand and waits for me to say whatever it is that I am going to say.

"Since this situation is because of me, please let me handle everything." I ask him.

Way to go, Lilly. Just how in hell will I be able to handle this situation, when almost all of the pack members want my death? Plus, they are all powerful members of the strongest pack. How can a wolf-less, powerless girl like me even hold a candle on them? They will crush me to dust before I can say one word.
