When Thranar appeared to drop his head in a silent apology, Aric started to speak once more. "Now that we've gotten that out of the way, my name is Aric. I am King of Valgertha," my alpha continued.
I smiled softly, glancing at him with respect. I very much appreciated how he let me take charge in the company of others.
"It is good to meet you, King Aric," Thranar answered carefully this time. He was well aware of the dichotomy of power between the three of us now. Aric and I had taken control. Together.
Thranar still looked between the two of us, trying to figure out who was in charge. I decided to take control and show him.
"Enough of the frivolities, Thranar. You wanted to meet to discuss your surrender and we accepted. What do you have to offer?" I demanded.
