After Twilight gives me back control, I shift back into my Human form and I quickly put my clothes on before I run into the Palace and back up the stairs to the suite we are staying in.
“Everything is in the bathroom.” Kali yells the moment I open the door and I make a beeline for the bathroom to take a shower, before getting ready for breakfast.
We head down the stairs to the main dining room and Deimos is waiting for us with Eryx next to him.
“Did Twilight enjoy herself?” Eryx asks with a smile on his face and I tell him she really appreciated the distraction from today’s schedule.
“The Warriors were impressed with her skills and I think my baby Brother might have a crush on her.” He says.
Eryx explains that the Warrior, that told Twilight she was allowed to take down the Rogue, is his baby Brother Leander.
As we walk towards the dining room, I see an Alpha approach, whom I wish I would never have to see again and Deimos steps next to me, placing my arm around his arm.
Alpha Mike approaches us with a smirk on his face and I grab Deimos’ arm a little tighter, not liking the look I am getting.
“Well, if it isn’t our little troublemaker.” Alpha Mike says. “Make anyone cry, yet?”
I look at him before I blurt out, “You might be the first one, Alpha Mike.”
I push against Deimos to walk away from Alpha Mike, but it seems that the guy wants to feel my full wrath as he grabs my arm as I try to pass him.
A menacing growl rips through the room and I know who let it out, as does Alpha Mike.
“Get your paws off her.” I hear an unfamiliar voice say and when I look at Deimos I can see that his Lycan has taken control.
The look in his eyes is murderous and it subsides a little when Alpha Mike releases me, but everyone can tell that Deimos has trouble regaining control.
“Twilight, what can I do?” I ask her and she tells me to talk to Goliath, his Lycan. I don’t know how she knows the name of his Lycan and in that moment I don’t care.
“Goliath, you have to give control back to Deimos. I am fine and I doubt Alpha Mike will be stupid enough to come near me again. Just give control back to Deimos, please.” I say as I look into his eyes and after he kisses me on my forehead, he retreats to give control back to Deimos.
Once it is clear that Deimos is in control, I push him to move away from Alpha Mike and I am grateful he doesn’t fight me on it, he just allows me to guide us to another spot.
I guide him towards the gardens to have a change to talk about what happened. He needs to know why Alpha Mike responded that way and to thank Goliath for protecting me.
Slater and Eryx follow us but keep their distance, almost as if they understand that we need a few minutes to ourselves.
I tell Deimos what happened with Alpha Mike’s Daughter and I can see that neither Deimos nor Goliath is pleased.
“Thank you, Goliath. I can take care of myself, but I appreciate the fact that you don’t like it when a male acts like that towards a female.” I say.
“Sorry to interrupt, but breakfast is about to be served and King Alwin hopes that today they will all follow protocol.” Eryx states and I giggle as I think to myself that I hope someone screws up.
Slater guides me towards Dad as Eryx and Deimos walk towards the King and Queen, before they all make their way into the dining room.
I see a familiar face approach us and I smile as he tells us to follow him, “Thank you, Leander. Did any other Rogue show up after I left?” I ask him and he smiles at me as he guides us towards our table.
“No, it stayed quiet after that. I am here because Eryx asked King Alwin to appoint me as your Guard, he wants to make sure that Alpha Mike stays away from you.” He answers.
Leander stays near me during breakfast and it is a good thing he did, because Alpha Mike tried to get close to me every chance he got. Leander would just step in between us every time and I managed to get through breakfast without killing Alpha Mike.
Deimos
I was surprised to see Leander walking in with Moon Stone Pack, but when Eryx explained that he asked Alwin to appoint Leander as Zalia’s Guard, I understood he wanted to protect her from Alpha Mike, and knowing what Twilight did at the border this morning, it might be more to protect Alpha Mike from losing his life.
