"Did you call for me, Your Majesty?" asked Arielle.
Ronan stood up from his throne. He even put Riel on the floor roughly and walked towards Arielle.
"You look nervous. Are you nervous because your two siblings are coming?"
"Y-yes, I think so," answered Arielle. She stepped back because the man was getting closer.
"Tell me the truth, you're glad your siblings came, don't you? You expect them to bring a replacement wolf?"
Ronan closed the distance between the two of them. He pressed Arielle against one of the doors of the hall. The man put his hands on both sides of Arielle's body and caged her in. His heart pounded wildly as he awaited her answer.
However, the man didn't know that Arielle didn't feel that way. She was worried about her own desires. She still wanted to go back to the South, but she didn't want to go back so soon either.
