---- 183. CONQUERING A NEW REALM AIDAN That afternoon, like it had be a habit, we guys gathered in the library. Honestly, I''d rather be with my freshly marked mate than surrounded by testosterone. Guess I wasn''t hiding my eagerness very well. "Pup, no one''s gonna kidnap her from the damn castle! Chill out, man!" my father said, pping me hard on the shoulder. I stared at him without saying a word. Him, of all people, telling me that.


    The same man who can''t go thirty minutes without groping my mom. "I still can''t believe you got her that easy. Lucky bastard." Aldric scoffed, sipping his drink while lounging in an armchair. Even if they still test me every chance they get, I feel like their guard''s dropping-especially my father-inw''s. He doesn''t say a word, sitting near the window, but at least he''s ---- not giving me that killer stare anymore. "What are you guys even talking about?


    What''s this heart- marking thing?" Drakkar''s curious voice broke in. That guy''s seriously something else. Something tells me the seductive one in his case was that delicate white-haired Alpha with the "who, me?" face. My sister-inw. "Drakkar, Lyra can''t do that. It''s something only Selenias can do," the Lycan King answered him. He gave a short exnation. We males usually keep those moments private... at least the details. "Why can''t Lyra do it?" Drakkar stood up, annoyed. "I can take it.


    I''m not weak." "What part of only Selenias didn''t you get?" Ss''s voice came out cold. I nced at his son, dozing off near the fire with his legs up on the ottoman, like none of this was his business. ---- What the hell is up with this family? 1 Drakkar kept pushing, insisting there had to be some way. "Damn it, stop being so damn stubborn! I said no and that''s final!" Aldric roared, unleashing both their beast auras. The pressure in the room got heavy until someone else walked in.


    "Seriously? You''re already arguing this early?" said the blond man stepping through the door. I had pretty much zero impression of him. "Quinn, is Gabrielle here already?" "Yeah, she''s ready to cast today''s spell. Aren''t you going to introduce me, Lycan King?" "My first officer, Guardian Quinn, is... well, technically my father- inw..." Aldric''s mouth twisted into a sarcastic grin. The lycan named Quinn didn''t even flinch. You could tell the guy had a solid personality-he greeted all of us calmly.
