(Author’s POV)
"Young Alphas, it’s a pleasure to meet you," Silvia approached them with her signature smile. She glanced at Nora and remarked, "Ohh~ .... the Lycan princess is here as well. So, nice. I must say. You are~ .... gorgeous ... young princess."
Nora returned her greeting, maintaining proper decorum, "It’s my privilege to meet you as well, Vampire Elder Silvia Silver." The boys followed with their formal greetings.
Catherine held a sharp look in her eyes as she scanned all of them one by one. ’Just a bunch of pups.’ She spoke, her voice laced with feigned politeness, "So, Lycan heir Alaric, Young Alpha Brave, we heard you were the ones who succoured his majesty from the depths of the sea. I, Catherine Richards, as an Elder of the Vampire’s, would like to extend my deep gratitude to you for what you have done."
"As a ’close ally’, it is our responsibility to assist when the Vampire King needs us. I am sure he would be doing the same for us," Brave spoke, measuredly.
"But~ ...." Catherine arched her brows. Her gaze landed on Nora for a brief moment, then she returned her attention back to the brothers, "There is one thing I would really like to know?"
"What is it, Elder Richards?" Brave queried, his expression remained neutral.
"Umm~ ... how were you able to do that?" The room fell into a complete, utter bit of silence. She continued, "Don’t get me wrong, but~ .... In such torrential weather, deep into the night, with tidal waves soaring, it was nearly impossible to achieve such a feat. The curious cat within me just won’t stop budging. So~ .... How did you do that, Young Alphas?" Though she was asking the brothers, her eyes would look at Nora every now and then.
"We are descendants of the only Lycan king and queen in the entire world. There is nothing impossible for us to achieve," Alaric stated in a matter of factly tone, the obvious. "It was like~ ... walking in the park for us."
"A walk in the park, you say. Self confidence is a good thing, Lycan heir Alaric, but are you sure there is only that to your story? For me, something really doesn’t add up," Catherine said, her tone was even, but her sharp eyes were reeking suspicion.
On her comment, Nora felt a chilling sensation. She could feel that Catherine knew something about her powers.
Alaric narrowed his eyes, meeting Catherine’s gaze in a staring contest, "Are you trying to accuse us of something, Vampire Catherine Richards?"
"YOU THERIANTHROPE. How dare you speak to Ancilla Richards in that manner?" Brian blazed in fury. He couldn’t stand Alaric speaking to Catherine in a derogatory tone.
Brave interrupted, his voice composed, "Elder Tape, did Alaric say anything wrong? Aren’t you trying to pin the blame on us? If you feel there is something wrong, state it clearly. By the way, there were two witnesses from your side, Secretary Shadow and Prof. Stephens. You can ask both of them if there are any trust issues."
