Wooing

Chapter 17

Anastazia

Lea’s question caught me off guard. I did not have an answer to her question, but I knew she was curious now that she learned about the world of werewolves.

“I went there to study. When you grow old, sometimes you go live in different packs to learn about their customs and traditions, just like there are exchange students in schools and dileges.”

Well, that was not the complete truth, but at least I was not guilty of feeding her with lies. When I was at the academy, we had an elective course where we could get extra credits by going to live in a different pack and work with them closely.

Silvermoon pack was relatively less known, and I picked it because I hated having eyes on me all the time. I preferred to work in silence and peace.

Not being under a constant spotlight was a relief as it allowed me to relax a little because back then my father was the most influential alpha so me being his daughter put extra pressure on me.

Staying with Julian for a week provided me with respite from the constant hubbub, and I truly enjoyed working with him. But that was the past..

Now there would only be hurt and suffering in that pack for me.

Lea’s curiosity seemed to have been sated and I saw her eyelids fluttering shut. I had made her run around so much and

humped a lot of information on her at once.

Of course, she needed to sleep. It was still a while for lunch, so I decided to put her to sleep on my bed.

“I like your room, mummy. It is nice,” Lea murmured as I kissed her forehead and helped her fall asleep. She still wanted to

around and explore her new home, but I reassured her that this was not a dream and that she was going to stay here for long.

Grudgingly, she let me put her to sleep as I sat beside her, wondering what I had gotten myself into

Only now did I bother checking my phone and I saw that there were 26 missed calls from Julian.

1 let out a sigh and decided to just lay on the bed for a while with Lea until I was forced to face him again.

At least now he would not be able to drag me away to his home. At least now I knew Lea would be safe at home..

That thought calmed my heart and I let my eyes flutter shut as I pulled Lea into my embrace and fell asleep.

The sound of someone shouting at the top of his voice reached my ears, and I woke up from my sleep

I did not have to guess who it was,

Julian was outside the door, and roaring like the angry werewolf he was. I did not want to go meet him, but I had to see what commotion he was creating.

I slowly pushed the curtain aside and took a peek at what was going outside through the window.

Nobody would dare stand against Julian five years ago but now he was surrounded by ten guards, all of whom were pushing him away.

But despite ten men thwarting his advances, Julian was somehow giving them a tough time. He was just as fierce and powerful as I remembered him.

My Toller was standing in front of the ten men and ten more were at the ready, waiting for my fathers orders to kick Julian

My father stood with his hands folded behind his back, staring Julian impossively.

Hindout

tam warning you again, Julian. Don’t trespass on my territory at my permission”

Julian was struggling to speak with the ten men pushing him back His vice sounded breathy as the spoke

“Please, just once. I wish to speak to her just once”

Bot my father shook his head “My daughter has been living under the fear that you would harm her for five years. She cut contact with me, the pack everyone just to stay away from you You have terrorized her for five years and you are a food if you think I will let you anywhere near her”

1 bat my lower lip as I watched their exchange.

A few other pack members had gathered too and were staring at Julian and my father with curious expressions.

“She is my wife, and you cannot keep me away from her. All I want to do is talk to her

However, iny father’s voice rose.

“You never learn, do you, Julian? She told me what you did when you found her. If you had just wanted to talk to her, you would plead with her to listen to you, not start a countdown and cut her from every other client she had. You are nothing but pure evil,”

Juhan pushed against one of the men whose elbow somehow hat him in the jaw while he was being pushed back.

As a result, Julian got pissed and coiled his hands into a fist, sending a punch straight to the man’s nose.

He flew up a few feet and crashed down on the nearest wall.

“Julian!!! You have sixty seconds to leave this place or I will hold you accountable for trying to trespass my property and then it won’t end well for you. Your pack and your name are already falling down. You don’t want me to deliver the final nail in

the collin.”

My father warned Julian, who stopped his aggressive movements and slowed down, but he did not leave.

Meanwhile, my father’s words left me stunned.

Was the Silvermoon pack in such a bad shape? It used to be the most influential pack before I left, surpassing my father’s pack that used to be at the top in just a year,

And now it was already hanging by the thread?

How did the pack’s credibility and prestige reiluce so much?

“I only want you to ask her to talk to me once, please.”

Julian’s face was ashen, and his expressions were filled with sadness and hurt.

“You sixty seconds are over. Guards, throw him outside!”

Dad roared and all the men jumped on him. Julian tried to fend them off, but twenty guards began hitting and kicking him

My heart could not watch that. He was being kicked and beaten like a rogue. Even if I hated him for what he did to me. I could not see him like this.

“Don’t fall for his tricks again. Ans. 1te is a monster disguised as werewolf”

My father gripped my wrist as his men continued to beat Julian badly

However, when his eyes fell on me, a smile blossomed on his fac

“Ana…” He whispered, and I saw his eyelids fluttering.

“STOP” I yelled at the men, but they did not pay heed to my words

“Dad, please, stop it. They are hurting hir

But dad’s voice was stem. “We should have taught him this lesson already when he tried to terrorize you and all of us. Now is the time he gets a taste of his own medicine.”

1 kept looking at Julian, who was now sporting several cuts and wounds on his body. Blood was dripping from several wounds, but he was still smiling at me, requesting me with his eyes to listen to him.

“Dad, if you don’t stop this right now, I will leave with Lea right away.
