Page 39 of A Silent Prodigy for the Lycan Princess
“That’s definitely on the plus side of the list,” Mom says.
“Another plus is that he doesn’t mind me being an alpha,” I say. “He didn’t seem intimidated at all. Oh, and his honesty, he told Maxima and me about his hearing impairment.”
“I remember Eric mentioning something,” Mom says. “How did it happen?”
“I didn’t ask yet,” I say. “I didn’t want to sound curious.”
Mom giggles. “You certainly don’t have that from me. So, what’s on the negative side of the list?”
“He is an alpha’s son and heir, too,” I admit. “This will probably be a bit difficult for us to solve.”
“Hmm,” Mom hums. “Sure, a warrior or beta would have made this easier for you.”
“But I know from Eric that he prefers the work in the Council, anyway,” I muse. “And I haven’t talked to him about anything, yet.”
“I am sure you will find a way,” she says. “Just get to know him and enjoy your time. You’ll find a solution for everything.”
Chapter thirteen
Meg
*AURELIA*
I’ve emptied my luggage and put everything in the wardrobe, enjoying the beautiful room Val and Eric chose for me. It’s almost a bit too luxurious. I know I’m technically a princess, but that’s not how I was raised. We did live comfortably, but this here takes it not just one step but a few further.
I can hear them before the door even opens.
“Goddesssssssss!” Marilou exclaims as she rushes into my room, with the whole gang following her. Valerie even tugs Eric along, which is a whole new level of discomfort.
Tori and Jazz jump on my bed, eyeing me expectantly. “We obviously need details,” Tori says.
“All the details,” Jazz agrees.
Nox grimaces. “Maybe not all the details.”
“Yeah, he is right, maybe not all of them,” Eric agrees. “I am the first to demand the smutty details, but in this case, it’s my cousin and my protégé.”
“You got yourself a good one,” Valerie tells me, beaming in joy.
“Is it true that he is a genius?” Lion asks.
“I think so. I have no reason to doubt it,” I say.
“He is,” Eric says. “I had his IQ measured. He never forgets a detail he reads, and he is studying four or five different main subjects at university. He is very modest, though.”
He truly is. He could easily show off with his accomplishments, but he doesn’t.Another point on the list,I tell Maxima.
Of course, our mates are awesome,she says, like I’ve lost my mind.They are mated to us, after all.
You truly are a modest wolf,I mutter.
Why should I be modest? We are pretty awesome. Any man should be happy to be our mate.
She really isn’t the most modest of lycans out there, but there is a softness in her voice when she mentions the word mate, and when she thinks of Arden and Cato. She can fool anyone but me. And despite her brash behavior, she is also the one who always picks me up when I feel down. She was the one being fed up with me when I lazed around and spent my time off the pack grounds to party, and she was the one constantly pushing me that we could do more, could be better, and had more potential than just be the sister and daughter of two of the most powerful alphas. Once I listened to her, I found out that she was right. I didn’t want to waste my time on parties or guys. I wanted to become a better warrior, instead, and be a good supporter of my pack.
Slowly, things began to fall into place, and step by step, Maxima and I progressed until my father made me his successor.
“So, what’s the plan for our stay?” Jazz asks, interrupting my thoughts. “I know you, Aurelia, I bet you want to work.”
