54 A Toast For The Happy Couple
Ronan took some time to compose himself before entering the temple to participate in the Moon Banquet. Lillian Woodland was chatting with a few Alphas who were entirely captivated by the beautiful woman. They hung at her every word, mesmerized by her bright, beautiful brown eyes and her seductive pair of lips.
The Alphas quickly dispersed as soon as Ronan Silverback entered the scene.
Only those who had been living under the rock did not know that Lillian Woodland was promised to Ronan Silverback, courtesy of Dane Silverback’s repeated promotion.
Even without Dane Silverback telling every werewolf who walked the earth about the match made in heaven, the Alphas knew when to retreat. Ronan Silverback was an Alpha just like they were, but all Alphas would agree that he belonged to a completely different class. Not many Alphas dared to bare their fangs at Ronan Silverback. One of those who could do that was Kinnon Youngshaper.
Kinnon Youngshaper just happened to bring his Luna-to-be and his baby heir with him. The three of them offered a beautiful picture, an absolute delight to those who had the pleasant chance to greet the little family.
“You are back,” Lillian greeted Ronan with a coquettish smile and a wink.
Ronan took his seat next to Lillian and regarded every Alpha at the table with a cold glare.
“Gentlemen, how are you enjoying your evening?”
The Alphas immediately felt something cold running down their spines. Their survival instinct kicked in and told them to either fight or flee. Fighting was not an option during the Moon Banquet, so naturally, they only thought about fleeing. Not that they could win in one-on-one combat against Ronan.
.....
The poor Alphas quickly came up with a bunch of excuses to escape.
“Ohhh... Alpha Ronan, I just happen to see Mr. Dane Silverback over there... I shall greet him first.”
“Alpha Ronan, I was just wondering where you were! Forgive me but I need to get myself some martini...”
Two Alphas were gone within an instant. Ronan shifted his gaze unto the only remaining Alpha on the table, who was sweating profusely while searching for any believable excuse.
In his panic, he searched the hall and his eyes landed on Kinnon Youngshaper, Lucien Clearwater, and little Ralph Youngshaper who was leaning against Lucien’s shoulder.
“Oh! I need... I need to talk to Alpha Kinnon real quick!”
The said Alpha almost slapped himself as he walked away as soon as possible. Why the hell did he have to mention Alpha Kinnon? How could he not remember that the Infinite Eclipse Pack and the Night Prowler Pack were rivals?
Thankfully he did not turn around to see the look on Ronan’s face as soon as Kinnon was mentioned.
Kinnon Youngshaper was his rival indeed. Their pack members maintained civil relations with each other because they knew that the smallest spark could cause a war. But that was not why Ronan especially hated to hear the words “Kinnon Youngshaper” that night.
It was because Lucien had chosen Kinnon over him.
And he looked so happy with Kinnon.
Ronan glared at the arm that Kinnon put around Lucien’s body. He had one hand resting snugly against Lucien’s waist. And his son in Lucien’s arms.
God.
So lecherous. Touching Lucien like that in public. Acting like they were already a properly married couple.
Lucien too, so shameless. Actually letting himself be touched like that for all eyes to see. Where was his pride as an alpha werewolf? Possibly gone down the drain as soon as Landon left him.
Hmph.
A cold sneer formed on Ronan’s lips, but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
Ronan downed glasses of wine one after another. He had a high alcohol tolerance so he did not usually care about how much wine he drank. Lillian Woodland on the other side was getting a little worried. Ronan had been drinking wine like his life depended on it.
“Ronan, are you alright?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ronan turned to her with a smile. “Yes, why? Do you also want to drink some?”
Lillian’s lips curled into a smile. “I don’t think so. The night is still long.”
“Indeed,” Ronan agreed. He held a hand up and a waiter quickly arrived with a tray of a bottle of wine and a few glasses. He had wanted to pass Ronan a glass, but Ronan grabbed the bottle instead.
The waiter’s jaw dropped open for a split second before he regained his composure and closed his mouth abruptly.
Ronan drank while staring at Lucien. Amazing how he could be so in love with someone so cold.
Lucien...
Lucien, you are so heartless...
How can you smile so happily after breaking my heart?
You have done it twice now. Bravo, Lucien...
“Excuse me, everyone.”
The sound of metal clinking against glass was heard, drawing everyone’s attention to the person who made the sound.
An elder from the Werewolf Council stood at the staircase while tapping his glass with a silver spoon. Ronan squinted at him. He used to be an elder in the Silent Walkers Pack if Ronan was not mistaken.
“I would like to propose a toast for Alpha Kinnon Youngshaper, who finally decided to take a Luna. Cheers to Alpha Kinnon Youngshaper and his new Luna, Lucien Clearwater! May this union bring prosperity and eternal blessings over both the Night Prowler Pack and the Silent Walkers Pack!”
Everyone but Ronan raised their glasses.
“To Alpha Kinnon Youngshaper and his new Luna, Lucien Clearwater!”
“To the Night Prowler Pack and the Silent Walkers Pack!”
“Congratulations on a blessed union!”
Kinnon beamed with joy. He flashed the elder a charming smile. “Thank you, Elder Rick. It is my luck to be able to attain Lucien’s promise of marriage.”
He then pulled Lucien closer and pinched his chin between his thumb and index finger. Lucien looked a little surprised. He parted his lips slightly as if wanting to ask Kinnon what it was about, and Kinnon took the chance to press his own lips against Lucien’s.
