**Talon’s POV
I couldn’t believe my sister had been so negligent as to allow Rosalie to go to the bathroom alone.
"Talon!"
Georgia’s sweet and sultry voice floated around , and my wolf howled in pleasure.
Yes, she was my mate, although no one else knew.
"Yes, Georgia?" My wolf was so happy to be around her that I couldn’t help but put on a smile.
I watched her grew up and used to view her as my little sister. Georgia was sent away by Ethan to study abroad before I turned twenty-one, thus my wolf couldn’t sense our mate for a long ti, until one year ago when she ca ho for a visit.
Oh, how I wish I could mark her, but I had to hold myself back. Because she hadn’t turned twenty-one yet. Not to ntion, she was Ethan’s sister, well, half-sister.
Things had been fine when she was gone, but now constantly being around her was making it increasingly hard for to focus.
Slowly, I turned around to talk to her with a straight face.
All I wanted to do was to claim that she’s mine, but instead, I had to maintain my older-brother-like image with her – handling Ethan, Vicky, Rosalie and now Georgia, could life be more difficult for ?
Regardless, it didn’t change the fact that she just brightened my not-so-good day.
"Is that it? You and Ethan aren’t going to do anything about it?" She was obviously angry with what Madalynn had done to Rosalie, and so were we.
I sighed, "Vicky will be punished for not doing her job."
"You know that’s not what I ant. This wasn’t Vicky’s fault. That stupid b*tch Madalynn deserves to be punished!"
Her fiery nature enamored even more. She was my fire, lively and passionate.
I knew how she felt. I wanted Madalynn punished, too— but unfortunately, it was easier said than done.
"I know, Georgia. But it can’t happen–" I sighed. I wanted to be closer to her, but I forced myself to maintain the comfortable space between us. "Ethan has to think of the alliance."
"F*ck the alliance, Talon. He isn’t marrying that stupid b*tch if I have anything to do with it. Besides, Rosalie is pregnant– how is that going to work?"
Georgia had a point, and all I could do was shaking my head.
"I don’t know."
Georgia had no clue what Ethan’s true intentions were— that he was going to put Rosalie to death after the baby was born.
And Georgia could never know. She wouldn’t allow Ethan to do that, and if he did, she would never forgive him.
That was sothing else I needed to speak to Ethan about. I knew that... he cared about Rosalie more than he realized.
"Where is he? I’m going to talk to him."
Georgia moved to walk past , but I quickly gripped her upper arm. We both gasped.
I removed my hand. My wolf was growling inside , and I had to take a deep breathe before I spoke in my normal tone.
"Don’t. I will speak to him, but right now, he has a eting to go to. Just be patient, please."
She stared at for a mont, but didn’t continue to press ahead. I knew she wasn’t going to let this go, but at least I had stalled her long enough.
"Okay, okay, Talon. I’ll listen to you, okay? Don’t look at like that! I’m not a little kid any more!"
Then she looked up at with a grin— her dimples were just so adorable. "Hey, by the way, I’m heading to the training room, wanna join ?"
’Of course I do!’ my whole brain scread. But I couldn’t.
I sighed. "I’d love to, but..."
"Yes, yes, yes— but you have to attend the eting with Ethan."
She was a bit frustrated, but I could tell she wasn’t really upset. "Then, could you train personally once we get back to our pack?"
She leaned closer to again, and I grimaced. She was driving crazy!
"Please...?" Her sparkling eyes gazed into mine...
Oh, well. I was all hers, no doubt.
"It would be my honor." I smiled back professionally, just like a good Beta.
"Alright! I have your word, then. I’ll see you around!" She pranced down the hallway, headed wherever she had set her mind upon.
As her scent calmly left , I was able to breathe again. I couldn’t wait for the day I was able to claim her as my own.
I just hoped that Ethan would be accepting of it.
It didn’t take long for to end up at the King’s office. Ethan t outside the door, and as he looked at , I knew he wasn’t in a forgiving mood.
"What took you so long?" He questioned.
"Sorry, just had a few words with Georgia."
As much as Ethan cared about his sister, he never knew how to get along with her. Ethan paused for a second, then switched the topic, "Is she being moved from the infirmary?" He didn’t say her na, but I knew he ant Rosalie.
"Yes, Alpha. Rosalie will be moved back to her room in a short while."
"Good," Ethan replied, looking at the office door. "Let’s get this taken care of, then."
Opening the door, I followed Ethan inside the room.
The King sat at his desk, wearing a smiling face as he spoke to Roro. Roro’s beta Damian and his daughter Madalynn were also there for the eting. The group seed to be having a pleasant casual talk.
"Hey Ethan, you called the eting but you’re couple minutes late. Everything okay?"
Few people knew, but the King was Ethan’s cousin. The late Alpha King and Ethan’s father were brothers.
Ethan was clearly unwilling to discuss it, his gaze locked on Madalynn.
"Did sothing happen?" King Jas asked with a furrowed brow, unaware of the fight from earlier in the morning.
"Yes, your majesty," I began to explain. "Miss Rosalie had a harsh run in with Miss Madalynn. It ended up landing her in the infirmary. Luckily, she is expected to make a full recovery."
Roro approached his daughter, raised his voice, "Madalynn, was that true?"
"Father—" she pleaded with tears in her eyes. "I–... It was a misunderstanding." Then she turned to the King, "Your majesty, I’m sorry, but I really didn’t an to..."
Roro frowned and raised his hand, as if he was going to slap her.
"Roro," King Jas said, halting Roro, "It sounds to the situation has been handled and will not happen again."
"Agreed, it won’t happen again," Ethan snarled.
The King turned his attention from Madalynn to Ethan. "Ethan, we heard you wanted to speak to us," the King brought up the purpose of this eting.
Everyone in the room were quiet – all eager to hear what Ethan would say.
"For what you proposed yesterday, Your Majesty, I have co to a decision."
I knew without a doubt that Ethan didn’t want to marry anyone, especially not Madalynn. He wanted nothing to do with that girl, and had spoken openly to about it multiple tis. Madalynn irritated him to no end.
"Well, don’t keep us in suspense," King Jas replied, waiting for Ethan’s answer.
