Ronan eyes went followed evelynne as she maneuvered through the men like one of them not scared as she excused herself to do something. Why was she so elegant?
He excused himself and followed her slowly whilst she walked down the hallway. Looking around and touching her necklace once until she stopped by one of the mirror by the hallway.
She pulled away her gloves and damn her smooth hands came into view as she twisted it staring at it like she was searching for something which she didn't and pulled the other glove.
He watched her inspect her body before she pulled her blonde hair to the side and he decided to make his presence known by going to stand at her back which made her body go still.
Their eyes locked through the mirror and he walked forward to stand closely behind her, the warmth of him so close to her bare neck, her breath almost hitched but he she breathed out. A lingering but quiet tension hovered between them.
Ronan raised his hand to touch her, which was by the side of her neck, so blonde. He picked a few strands and it smeared down his fingers. He leaned down and his breath fanned her neck. Their gazes locked and he retreated. Evelynne released a breath she didn't she'd been holding, letting her hair down while she turned to him away from the mirror.
"Why are you here?" Her voice barely a whisper, the effect of whatever had happened between them still lingering. Ronan shifted on his feet, his hands in his pocket "you…I wanted to talk to you"
Evelynne cleared her throat, "I was going to return and we were going to talk anyway. Not necessary to come after me you—"
"I wanted to talk to you alone, where we could talk and no one would interrupt."
Evelynne stepped back, giving him way and nudged her head forward which he understood and they walked together. Her hands folded at her front. She was acting nervous which was unusual for her.
"So? What did you want to talk to me about?" They crossed the hallway and stepped into another that was leading to the pack courtyard. Ronan kept silent, staring at his front and she hummed at him "hmm?"
"What do you think of going hunting?"
"Huh?"
"You can't be thinking about the pack all the time, do you? That would be sad. Back at my pack, I never got the time to walk around or be lazy you know?"
"An alpha's son and next to be an alpha?"
"Hmm you got it right" he smile at her and evelynne felt flutters in her belly that she touched it immediately trying to more like stop it "I was always working and training, the little time I had was to go soirées that was a concept of my day to meet more women"
"And did you find anyone?" She pinched herself internally—what kind of question was that?—they came out from the hallway to the garden.
"No. The women in my pack are all after been the lunar and not trying to get to know me which is sad since I haven't met my mate yet which I heard is mostly close to none"
"Sad"
"Yeah, sad. Trying to get to know someone always seems futile. You know"he waved his hand in the air "they would just keep on asking about how many women you are going to get married to, the clothes they love and packs they would like to visit. It was getting exhausting so I had leave and come here maybe find someone else"
Evelynne picked a lily flower from the bed and held it, sniffing it obviously to the person watching her "would you still want to be an alpha if you find your mate?"
Evelynne halted as she mulled over it before answering "No. I don't think I can stop myself from this route I've chosen for myself. Love and commitment are the last things on my list right now Ronan. Maybe I should warn you before you think any more less than what we've agreed on. It would be a shame to end it on the bases of love and something that can never happen between the both of us"
Ronan let out an empty laugh like her confusion just bust the bubble he had been creating since this composing himself "You don't have to worry my lady, there would be nothing of such would become of us"
"Hmm. You were saying?" She prod and Ronan started again with a different matter "what do you think of the vampires and massacre?"
"Children, women and old people were killed ronan. Don't call me brutal and cruel but I think whoever has done those things needs to die. Who kills children and babies? Spilling blood and writing rubbish to convey what? Power? Authority? Over thalvion or a start of a rebellion against Astral blood pack?"
"Hmm as much we don't know who was behind it, there's my reason we need to find them before the vote or contest of the alpha here commences since—"
"Do you still think it will hold?"
"It has to be before anything can be done in those packs. Right now Astral blood black has no leader which is enough leeway for whoever was behind that to reveal more. Don't you think so?"
Evelynne stood contemplating, she was down now on what to do so she faced him "what do you think I should do?"
Ronan smiled "I think you should go pack your stuff. We are leaving"
