“Alpha, they are here.” Donald announced, gaining Hugh’s attention as he was pretty deep in thoughts.

Hugh could already perceive their scents, but the one he yearned for was missing, making his wolf feel on edge.

“Bring them in.” he finally replied and in a matter of seconds they were making their way into his office.

“You surprised me, cousin. I thought you were going to bring your whole army… I guess I underestimated you.” He mocked, his brown orbs glaring at Roy’s grey ones.

“We are here to talk, not fight.” Alan said, putting an end to the glaring contest between the two Alphas.

“Where is she?” Hugh asked, trying his best to sound calm but was failing terribly.

“You crossed my territory and killed two of my own. That was out of line, Hugh.” Roy hissed, still angered by what Hugh did.

Roy wasn’t aware that he was moving towards Hugh until he felt Alan’s hand on his shoulder, stopping him.

“Don’t do anything rash.” Alan advised through mind link, causing him to stay where he was.

“I don’t have time for your ranting.” Hugh replied with a hint of mockery in his voice, thereby provoking Roy even more.

“Hugh, this is no time for games.” Alan interjected, trying to prevent things from going downhill as he could already sense the tension between the cousins.

“Really? Is that all you have to say?”

“You broke a rule that shouldn’t be broken no matter what. You even went as far as killing two innocent lives after I warned you not to do anything rash.” Alan angrily replied.

“And why should I listen to you?” Hugh asked through gritted teeth, his eyes flickering from brown to yellow as his wolf was getting angry for being spoken to in that manner.

“It seems you’re forgetting your place, Alan.” He warned in a threatening voice, already in a half shift, making Alan lower his head in submission.

Roy quickly stepped in front of Alan, also in a half shift as he has had enough of Hugh’s bullshit.copy right hot novel pub
