“I was just giving him medicine.”

Clearly not believing him, Kinnon squinted his eyes at the Alpha of his rival pack.

“Aha.”

He then discreetly closed the door behind him and entered the room.

“What do you need me to do next?” he asked in a low voice while drawing a chair close to the bed and taking a seat.

“Nothing,” Ronan said in response. “Lay low. Focus on keeping Lucien safe. I am going to start launching an attack on old Madam Woodland.”

It was the morning after the fake ceremony in the Infinite Eclipse Pack House was held. Around this time, Lucrethia Woodland must have found out that she failed. The old woman must be livid with anger.

Elijah’s son was in danger, and so was Lucien.

.....

Thankfully, both had been moved to safe locations.

Annalynne had promised to shelter Erick Summertide for as long as it took to bring Lucrethia down.

On the other side, no one would have thought that Ronan, who fought in public with Kinnon, opted to hide Lucien in the Night Prowler Pack House. They after all had a falling out. There was no better hiding place for Lucien right now.

“Kinnon, I can’t afford any blunder from your side,” Ronan emphasized. “I am entrusting the love of my life to you. Please take good care of him.”

Kinnon scoffed.

“You know, he is the love of my life too. I will take good care of him whether you ask me or not.”

Ronan pursed his lips.

Kinnon scoffed.

“Besides, my whole pack treated him like the Luna while he stayed here. You have nothing to worry about.”

“That was before the war,” he pointed out. “I don’t want any of your pack members to develop some funny ideas.”

Ronan was quite sick with how things developed over the past few months. Too many irrelevant people cared about the personal business between him and Lucien. They drew false conclusions and were adamant about defending their faulty point of view.

They even went as far as attacking Lucien physically. His poor mate had to deal with a lot of things.

Human beings were folly, but who to say that some of the werewolves were not? Foolish werewolves were even more dangerous than average human beings. They had their in-built weapons and they did not hesitate to use them whenever necessary.

“They won’t. Everyone knows that the Silverback family has been framed during the war. Casualties on both sides are to be reckoned with when two parties fight in a war. No one is as delusional to think that everyone will survive and live happily ever after.”

“I’m glad that we are on the same page,” Ronan said.

“Bjorn even asked me why I fought with you in the bathroom. He did not want you to complain to the Werewolf Council about me snatching your Luna away.”

Ronan smiled.

“Bjorn is a great guy. How do your pack members feel about Lucien right now?”

Kinnon pulled his lips into a thin line.

“They don’t hate him, if that’s what you are asking. During his short stay in the pack house, the pack members got to know and appreciate him. Alas, he is not fated to be our Luna.”

Ronan took a deep breath.

“That’s good.”

Ronan wanted to continue speaking, but he clamped up immediately when he heard the pata-pata sound coming from the corridor outside.

Kinnon too gestured for him to cut their conversation.

What followed was the childish whining voice of Ralph, “Mommy! Mommy Mommy Mommy!”

Kinnon got up from his chair and opened the door for his son.

The little blonde boy immediately rushed to Lucien’s side, ignoring both his father and Ronan.

“Mommy!” he shouted while he tried to climb the bed.

Ralph had grown taller since Ronan last saw him, but he was still unable to climb into an adult bed on his own.

His father gave him a lift by pushing him up.

Ralph cupped Lucien’s cheeks with both hands.

“Mommy? Are you sleeping?”

Kinnon hooked an arm around his son. “Ralphy, your mommy just recovers from a severe sickness. You must give him plenty of rest. Other than Daddy, no one is allowed to get close to Mommy, do you understand?”

As a response, the little werewolf pup turned to Ronan with a glare and a growl.

“...”

What a big, scary wolf, Ronan thought.

To not break in laughter, Kinnon cleared his throat.

“And Uncle Ronan, too,” the little wolf’s father added with a smug grin. “You see, Ronan? Lucien even has a personal bodyguard to look after him day and night. Ralphy, you are going to protect your mommy, aren’t you?”

The little boy nodded so persistently that his little head threatened to fall off.

“I am Mommy’s bravest knight!” He announced proudly. “I will vanquish evil and protect Mommy from danger!”

Ronan scoffed. He messed up Ralph’s hair, causing the latter to cry,” Hey!!!”

“Then, I should get going. I will leave your mommy in your good hands, o brave knight.”

Ralph turned pink at the address.

Ronan went back to Lucien to give him one last kiss on his lips before he left.

‘Take care, my love.’

‘Ronan, be careful. Don’t be rash,’ Lucien again reminded him.

If he was not completely useless at the moment, Lucien would want to follow Ronan back to the Infinite Eclipse Pack to help him.

Ronan brushed against Lucien’s cheeks with his thumbs.

‘Darling, this is something that I have to do on my own. If you want to help, then stay here to recuperate. I will finish this as soon as possible, I promise.’

‘I love you,’ Lucien said.

‘I love you, my baby Lulu...’

Ronan looked back to see Kinnon and Ralph sitting by Lucien’s bedside, speaking to each other in a low voice while Lucien lay on the bed.

That could be them, he thought. He and Lucien with their child... Or children...

“Alpha, are you alright?” Milroy asked as soon as his Alpha went back to the foyer. For some reason, he was all red in the face.

“I am fine,” he said. “Let’s go back to the pack house.”

While they were in the car, Ronan pondered to himself for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to make a call.

“Good morning, Mr. Gordon Clearwater.”
