Chapter 72
Love
It was evening now, and I interacted with everyone, including Maleck. I could tell he had ill intentions was envious of everything Ellis had and wanted it to be his.
“So, where is their mother,” I asked him, looking at the two boys who were running around their play space with my children.
She’s somewhere. I can’t seem to keep track of her these days,” he shrugged his shoulders and gulp his wine. It was clear from his tone that he didn’t care about her. I was about to ask his marital status when he moved closer to me and stared into my gaze. I didn’t avert my eyes.
“You’re Lovely. Has someone told you that you hold an air of sovereignty? It’s so enticing, magnetic even. It’s hard to find it in females,”
It was as if he was looking at me in a different light. I rolled my eyes at his last sentence. This man had no idea how powerful women were if they wanted to be.
I grew up surrounded by powerful women. I know what I am. I’m an alpha blood, and I don’t need anyone to tell me my power,” I smirked cruelly. However, he only looked impressed by me.
“Ellis is the biggest fool I know for letting you go,” My gaze flickered away to the man he mentioned. Elli
eyes caught mine, and he excused himself from CC and walked towards us. His earnest eyes were purely on his cousin.
Maleck and I straightened as Ellis stood close to me. He was radiating warmth from his body.
“What is it you want, Maleck,” he glared at his cousin. Maleck exhaled.
“I brought my children to see this side of the family,” he answered.
“I know you’re scheming a takeover of my pack, but let me tell you this now. You won’t succeed. Even if you manage to issue a challenge on any unsubstantiated ground, you won’t win. So, if you love your children, you’ll end whatever madness you’re devising,” Ellis was solemn, his eyes flashing gold.
Maleck didn’t flinch visibly, but I saw he called his lycan forth. He was cautious of Ellis.
“I’m not working against you, cousin. I stopped as I couldn’t find sponsors among the alpha council for the challenge,”
The apprehension was rising with every passing second between the two, and all I wanted was to escape it before I got caught in the middle.
“Um, excuse me. I’ll let you discuss,” I said quietly, turning to leave, but Ellis gently placed his hand on my lower back. My heart’s movement skyrocketed, and my eyes slowly stared at him.
“I have nothing more to say to him. Get a drink with me,” he said gently, and I nodded.

“You know I was telling Love about the superiority that hangs around her. Any man – Alpha, would be blessed to have her. How were you a fool to let her go?” Maleck said with Malice in his tone and gaze.

“I was a fool once, but never again.” Ellis’ gaze on me made me burn, and at the same time, I shivered with satisfaction.
“Again?” Murmured Maleck, he eyed me up and down. I felt self-conscious, which normally doesn’t happen to me. He made me feel like he was undressing me with his eyes. I leaned closer to Ellis. He made me feel safe. Ellis growled at him and stalked towards his cousin, but I held him back.
“If she were mine, I’d never leave her for anyone,” he said, his eyes traveled further from me, and I saw her in the corner of my vision. Charlotte. She was watching us discreetly. However, she didn’t approach us. That was a first. I thought.
“Love will never be yours. Stop wishing,” Ellis growled. His alpha aura was dark, and it made his cousin step back cautiously.
“That would be up to the beautiful Love, wouldn’t it?”
