Alice recalled the time when she, Kendra, and Annalynne cornered Ronan for taking a bite at Lucien. Lowell should be thankful that Alice did not chastise him for stealing her daughter’s heart that quickly.

“So,” Lucien broke the awkward silence over dinner. “Are you two dating now?”

The two people in front of him flinched when they heard the word “dating”.

They exchanged nervous looks, and then Lowell cleared his throat.

“Actually, I am here to ask for your blessings. I would like to propose marriage to Anna.”

Lucien almost dropped his fork.

Alice gaped at her daughter.

Wow.

.....

Talk about speed romance.

“No way!” Alice shouted.

“It is too rushed, Anna,” Lucien spoke to Annalynne in a stern tone. “You guys literally just start talking to each other today. How did it go so quickly from fighting each other in the arena to a marriage proposal???”

Annalynne pulled a grimace. She raised her head and looked at her brother and mother beseechingly.

“But... But if I know that it is the right person, why can’t I just go for it? Why must I wait?”

Oh, Goddess.

Lucien rubbed at his temples.

In her teens, Annalynne was in love with Kinnon Youngshaper. Up until two weeks ago, she still harbored strong feelings for the Alpha.

Lucien never even heard her talk about Lowell. They were not even acquainted with each other. She might not even know that a Lowell existed in the pack!

“Anna, marriage is a serious matter. You should not go about it in a careless manner.”

To Lowell, Alice had something to say.

“Lowell, you seem to be a responsible man. I thank you for the kindness and affection that you showered my daughter with today. Let’s wait with the marriage talk until a few months have passed.”

The lovebirds hung their heads in disappointment, but they begrudgingly accepted Alice’s and Lucien’s objections.

Drawing lessons from her awful experience with Lucien’s own heated romance, Alice made sure to shoo Lowell out of the door after dinner. She could not risk it. If Lucien easily fell into Ronan Silverback’s love trap, who was she to claim that Annalynne would not do the same?

Heck, Lowell was a fine specimen of werewolf!

When Lucien returned to his bedroom, there were a few missed calls from Ronan.

Lucien sat at the edge of his bed and made another phone call to Ronan. This time he picked up the phone.

“Hello, my love,” came the greeting from the other end of the line. Lucien’s heart melted right away when he heard Ronan’s husky, sexy voice.

“Hi, Ronan.”

“I miss you,” Ronan said. “I miss you so much.”

Lucien bit his lip.

Maybe he should not have called. Now that he heard Ronan’s voice again, he longed to run into his arms and bury his face in the man’s warm chest. He wanted to have Ronan’s strong arms around him, his hand gently tussling up Lucien’s hair as Lucien breathed in his calming scent.

“Um. I miss you too,” Lucien said in return awkwardly.

“I can’t wait to meet you again,” Ronan said.

“You will,” Lucien said, smiling to himself. “The Alpha competition is over. We have a new Alpha.”

“Oh?”

Ronan’s interest was piqued. “Who is it?”

“My sister, Annalynne.”

There was silence on the other line, but then Ronan quickly picked himself up.

“Right. Wonderful. Please extend my congratulations to Annalynne.”

“Mhm.”

Lucien wanted to tell Ronan about Lowell, but he did not want to say it through the phone.

“Am I going to see you during the appointment ceremony?”

“Of course,” Ronan replied smoothly.

The appointment of every Alpha was a serious business. It was handled officially in a ceremony at the Holy Temple of the Moon Goddess, attended by all the currently reigning Alphas.

It served as an event to strengthen the bond between the werewolf packs as well as to introduce the newly anointed Alpha to the other Alphas.

At the same time, the new Beta and the new Gamma would also be appointed and introduced to the werewolf community.

“After your pack no longer needs you to handle its matters, can you focus your attention on something else?”

Lucien furrowed his brows.

“On what?”

“On us, of course,” Ronan chuckled. “Come to my pack house. I want you to stay by my side.”

In the darkness, Lucien could feel his face glowing hot. Was Ronan expecting a continuation of their short vacation? It would be a lie if Lucien said that he did not wish for more.

“Mmm.”

Ronan was not one to stop before getting what he wanted.

“I love you, Lucien. I want us to go back to the same pack.”

And by that, naturally, he meant his own pack.

Lucien’s mind was a mess. Was Ronan just saying it casually because they were dating? Or was he asking him to move in together with him? Or was he planning to propose to him?

It was all happening too quickly.

Or not?

Lowell and Annalynne were excited to get married on the first day they started dating.

What about him and Ronan?

They had been in and out of it for a while now. It was time to step up the game.

“Mmm, alright.”

Lucien’s voice was soft, but Ronan heard every syllable. At the other end of the line, the Alpha was grinning like a big bad wolf.

“I love you,” he repeated, expecting Lucien to say the same thing in return.

If his pack members knew, they might ridicule him. The Alpha of the Infinite Eclipse Pack was such a lovesick fool that he could not sleep a wink if he did not hear an “I love you” from Lucien’s mouth.

“I love you,” Lucien said, drawing a contented sigh from Ronan. “Now go to sleep, it is late.”

A gentle smile laced Ronan’s lips.

“Good night, Lulu.”

“Mm... Good night, Ronan.”

Lucien quickly ended the call. If he did not, he would not be able to stop thinking about Ronan for the rest of the night.
