"I wasn't," she denied.
"Then what were you doing?" Ronan smoothed his coat before sitting at the chair across her, tapping his nails on the flute, his lips broadening into a smile thus making evelynne duck her head blushing. "You seem to be checking me out just few minutes ago" he shrugged "from what I saw"
"I wasn't" she denied again. Ronan swirls his drink and looks up at her "Then what were we doing?"
Evelynne shook her head before sighing "can we forget about that please?"
Ronan quaffed down his drink, not commenting anything about what she said. Silence ensued between them, his eyes dancing inside his cup oblivious to the nervous woman across him "do you want something?" Evelynne finally asked as she squeezed her gloves.
She hated herself at that moment for acting squishy and dense, this wasn't her, the male species were her mortal enemies but she for the first time wished she not only had Betty but a boy best friend since she didn't have a brother and the sons of the beta and gamma are rather left where they are.
"Hmm?" He raised his head and stared at her, up close. Their eyes locked for some seconds before evelynne cleared her throat asking her earlier question again "no I just…was…you know passing by and heard…or should I say saw a beautiful blonde entering here and decided to follow her" he blurted out in one go, it sounded confused which he knew and clarified "I saw you going in through the door and decided to leave the elders talk their stuff and maybe follow you" evelynne almost mocked the 'elder' but pressed her lips together.
"And now?" She raised her brow "I won't marry you or your father for your information, I don't know if beta magnus sent you or whoever however I can guarantee you. You are wasting your precious time here" she sank back to her chair.
Beta magnus was out for her utmost dismissal which was as clear as the day but she was out for him. If she goes down, he goes down with her. Ronan openly and blankly peered at the woman now pressing her fingers to her head squinting her brows.
"I didn't come here for that" he said, eyes still on her whilst he was swirling the drink in the cup. "Your blonde hair is very unique in thalvion not only your pack and you know that. You…"
"So I have heard mr…?"
"Ronan"
"Ok Ronan, people have tried talking to me through my hair and it's starting to get depressing and irritating with my hair as the starting of a discussion" gone was the blushing and this was her "like get creative"she muttered, slipping her gloves back into her hand.
"I will try to get more creative miss…?"
"I can't tell if you are trying to be funny or sarcastic but if any I don't find it any"she stood up ready to leave. All the while Ronan watched her like a hawk. His elbow pressing on his knee cap as she walked to the door and he blurted out "evelynne" he drawled in his smooth and silky baritone voice and smirked when she finally turned her head to him and left not saying a thing.
Evelynne almost lost her balance after she left the room, turning back every now and then to check if she would see him. The way he had called her name right there did a thing she didn't want to know about. Yes, she had met with almost all the young and eligible alpha's sons, beta sons but none of them had left an impact on her like that.
"You here, evelynne?"
"Huh?" She blinked back into earth, pressing her fingers to her head. Headache. It was coming, she was feeling it and had been feeling it since the banquet of a funeral started. A lot of sleep and rest is needed back to her body to re-energize it.
"You here, Evelynne?" The voice startled her this time "you've been zoning out and I wondered what is making our eve to zone out, hmm?"
"That's none of your business Cedric" she stomped her way out of there wanting to leave not until the voice on the podium drew everyone's attention including her. Beta magnus. What was he trying to do there?.
"Hello everyone"magnus yelled, tapping the flute with a spoon and this garnered enough for him to start "Today marks the closing and end of the reign of late Alpha Dominic cassian of the Astral Blood pack, as we all know the laws that has bounded us for generations before our grandfathers were born of the beta succeeding the throne if ever the alpha dies. I want to use this…" everything faded into distance as evelynne waddled her way slowly to the podium.
This can't be happening, not after everything she has been planning. She approached the podium where sounds and his speech returned back "…he has been a good man for everyone…" lies "…a better candidate needs to be reinstated which is…"
"WAIT!!" Her voice rang out through the hall, through her peripheral view she saw Ronan but she blinked him away "He can't be the alpha" she lifted her dress to match up the stairs and heard magnus gritting an "Are you out of your mind evelynne?" But she didn't care and continued "there needs to be a vote" whispers and murmurs ensued which was calmed again from Magnus who tried talking evelynne out thus breaking away from his grip.
"This pack needs a new leader" her eyes on everyone "a female" and she heard clearly beta magnus cussing at her "someone young and capable" not some old man almost on his dying bed, she almost said however pulled "A new era where female gets to have a chance to rule and not only men…"
"You speak obscenities which can't happen. It will only bring curse to the pack, so step down while I handle this!!" beta magnus shouted loud enough for everyone to hear. Evelynne smirked and yelled back whilst her eyes held his "why don't we try it out and see about the curse?!"
"And how's that?"
"Maybe a war, vote and sparring. It should be equal and gruesome with everything intense between both parties. How about a fight for the throne as the alpha beta magnus?
"Are you mad?"
