Filed to story: Offered to the Lycan King Novel by Misha K (River & Hunter) >>
Hunter had never insulted her in all the years she was with him. She had been trying her best to get in his pants and even self–declared that she was very close to him. Over the time, she knew that Hunter had accepted her as his future Luna and that was why everyone in the castle and the Dark Moon pack were afraid of her. However, one little breeder comes and ruins her plans? She was going to give the breeder a lesson of her life.
Rosalie had carefully built her reputation and now she was living in the castle. She was not in the same wing as Hunter but moving in his castle was a victory on its own. She had meticulously crafted every lie, every move to enter the castle, eliminating competition.
Rosalie walked all the way to the kitchen and then the backyard, after asking servants as to where Alpha Hunter was. But what she wasn’t expecting was that Hunter was sitting amongst the omegas and having dinner with them. Snakes crawled in her chest when she saw that River was also sitting at the same table as Hunter was. The Lycan King who was the most powerful of entire werewolves and Lycans combined, was sitting with the lowliest omegas and having dinner with them? And that too because River was here? Anger blasted in her, but Rosalie knew that this was not the situation to be angry.
As soon as she was in the backyard, the loud banter morphed in murmurs as everyone glanced at her with caution. Slowly, Rosalie walked to where Hunter was sitting, ignoring a wide–eyed River. She noticed the bruises on her skin. “Alpha Hunter?” she said in a soft voice.
Hunter was so engrossed in looking at River that the world around him faded. She was so beautiful but too skinny. His beast wanted to feed his mate and so whatever chance he got, he would pass on the food to her on the pretext that her wound would heal faster. Hunter realized one thing–it didn’t matter where he was sitting or in whose company, he was having food. She was more beautiful than any woman–human, werewolf or Lycan–that he had ever encountered.
Her auburn hair was up in a messy bun and some loose, unruly curls had come to bounce on her neck. The lights of the lamp posts around them caught the red color of her glossy man, complementing her deep emerald eyes. He was so mesmerized by her that he didn’t even realize when Rosalie arrived. So when she called his name, his chest filled with a dangerous growl instinctively. He whipped his head towards her and his eyes flickered amber as his beast surged forward to protect his mate from potential danger. Every omega kneeled on the ground in pure submission with their head low.
Immediately Rosalie sank on her knees and lowered her head in submission. She was shivering under his gaze. Her voice was a mere whisper when she said, “I am very sorry, Alpha Hunter. I shouldn’t have judged so soon. Please forgive me.” Her voice choked and she started sobbing. “Please don’t be angry with me.”
When Rosalie entered the backyard and saw what was going on, she knew that right now omegas were all favoring River because it was rarely, they were given any importance and she was the last one to give them any. The situation wasn’t in her favor but at east she could draw some sympathy from them.
Sobbing was the best way.
Hunter’s beast growled at her, but in that process, he sensed River’s fear. He settled his beast just so that River calmed. “See that this doesn’t happen again,” he said to her in order to dismiss her.
“This will never happen again, Alpha Hunter,” Rosalie said. She was going to strike River when Hunter wasn’t around.
Hunter waited for her rise and leave and when she didn’t rise, he said, “You may leave.”
Rosalie snapped her head up at his rudeness. Tamping down her anger, she said, “I know that you are very upset with me, but could you please come back to the ball. Afterall it is a charity ball and since you would be donating the money, you should be there.”
Hunter didn’t want to leave River at all. He withdrew his powerful aura and released the omegas from it.
All of them scurried out of the backyard, leaving the three of them along with Faria.
“Please Alpha Hunter,” Rosalie pleaded him. She didn’t invite River because that would mean that her decision to throw her out wasn’t right and it would also mean that her grasp on the Alpha was loosening.
He looked at River as if asking for her permission, but the girl was feeling too awkward. She gazed at him with eyes that rounded at the corner. Hunter had this crazy urge to get up and kiss her. She looked so innocent and adorable that he wanted to squeeze her in his arms.
Hunter did what he thought would be the best to dispel her awkwardness and satisfy his urge. He got up from his place and walked behind his mate. He dug his pocket and took the necklace out. He dangled it in front of her and murmured, “I would like you to wear it, but I know that you are hurt, so, I am keeping it with me for now.” His fingers
brushed her neck and she felt tingles all the way down to her toes which curled in anticipation. “Come, we have a ball to attend.”
Rosalie clenched her jaws tight when she saw that way Hunter was treating the breeder. She couldn’t believe that he was giving her that precious necklace to wear. And she was certainly not expecting him to take her back to the ball because she had insulted her in front of everyone.
River nodded lightly as her lips curled up. She curled the arm he offered to her and together with him walked back to the ball. With Rosalie following them. And that’s how the insulting River boomeranged to Rosalie.
When they reached the ball, all the guests looked at Alpha Hunter with the girl who Rosalie had thrown out. No one uttered a word and once again bowed to him. Without a single word, Rosalie walked behind them with her head dipped low, trying to show that was a victim.
When Hunter reached at the end of the hall, the musicians began to play. The evening rolled out.
However, what happened next, came as a shocker to River.
