One week later...
Ryder took in a deep breath as he winced.
'f**k it hurts like a b***h'
how could that b***h do this to him. Nyx wasn't even the issue here, that bloody viking where the hell did she get the mind to do that, she didn't even stop to think what if he was stronger which he was if it wasn't for that stupid silver. If only he could be like his dad who had literally no weakness at all... speaking of which...
He got up grunting as he looked around, no not back to this place.
He sighed
The pack house want an eye sore, it was infact a sight for sore eyes however he didn't like this place. He was always in comparison to his father, he wasn't this he wasn't that. No one ever wanted him for him. It was either his father's favor or something only he could do.
Entering the court room he caught sight of his father seated majestically on his throne he loved his father but hated the comparison, he wasn't even as good looking as his father he couldn't beat him in anything and he hated it.
"Ryder took you long enough, we have to talk"
despite knowing it would eventually come to this, his nervousness knew no bound.
"Yes father- alpha"
he immediately corrected himself
***
In the training ground, the alpha circled him with predators instincts he knew he was screwed the moment word got to his dad. His father wasn't like him, while he thrived in the attention of girls his father believed in mate's given by the moon goddess. He believed in the moon goddess but if the concept of mate's were supposed to be honored then the blue moon that locates mates won't be like a blue moon.
"What did you do son, that had those girls this pissed" He pursed his lips as he knew he couldn't tell his dad. He couldn't admit cheating even though he knew his dad knew, him admitting might just be the trigger to deal the hell with him even more than was supposed to.
"you know you'll be punished..."
Alpha Lyrien finally voiced out his thoughts staring intently at him.
"yes Alpha" he hung his head to show remorse.
"Luca would be the one to decide the punishment"
No not Luca!!!
" that's final nothing more nothing less"
" dad he's going to kill me, that psycho knows no boundaries"
but the alpha didn't listen to him as he left giving room to Luca who smirked as he walked in with a smug look on his face.
***
"Two Hundred and Fifty Two" Luca grinned as he stared at a messed up Ryder, no grudge held against him however he hated how lightly he does things like he didn't get the gravity of his position as the future alpha of Blackwood pack... the pup needed some discipline which he had made sure to mete out in appropriate ways in form of several punishment all revolving around the use of silver.
Raising the silver whip, he was ready to land another lethal lash when...
"Stop!"
That soft voice... the gentle caress of his tone on his ears.
He knew it before he even saw it... That smell he's missed, the smell of ash and spice.
"oh Sylvie... why're you here now"
Luca said without turning back.
" I need you to stop what you're doing, that's enough"
Luca finally turned to look at him with a smirk... so he'd finally sucked up his pride.
"I'm going with the alpha's orders so what do you want? "
"I need you to stop that now Luca he's suffered enough"
Luca smiled dropping the whip with a whole new plan in mind.
" okey dokey. However I'll be bored to death with nothing to-"
he paused with a knowing smirk and a wink.
" Take me instead... I know you've been wanting to do that for a while"
Luca smiled and signalled the guards to take him to the pack doctor.
"I'll save that one for later"
he said and brushed passed Sylvester who knew he was done for.
