Chapter 21 Thane A knock at the door has me pausing my conversation with Ayla .
I can tell shes panicking and rightfully so .
Nobody should be coming to her room and only myself and a few others know where she is staying .
I immediately get up to answer the door , but my shifter senses have already told me who is there before 1 open it and I am not happy .
Della , what are you doing here ? I slowly growl while Ronan is pushing up against my mental barrier What am I doing here ? What do you mean ? What am I doing here ? What are you doing here ? I told you I was coming back to see you today and I could not find you anywhere .
Why are you even in here ? Della , I am your alpha .
It would be wise for you to remember that and lose the tone with me I asked you a question Why are you knocking on this door ? I asked her , a look of shock completely across her face , I just thought I would come by and introduce myself .
I think its important that the rescue meets me as well .
She moves to step into the room and I quickly block her entrance .
First off , you should not be here .
You were fold yesterday that I want nobody around her other than myself and Eric Secondly , how do you even know where she is staying ? Third , she is not a rescue .
Her name is Ayla and you will respect her by using her name appropriately , do you understand me ? Y ye yes I understand Thane .
I heard from somebody in the kitchen that she was staying here .

I just thought that I would come by and introduce myself .
I apologize for not clearing that with you .
I just want to be helpful and I figured that if shes going to be spending a lot of time with you , then she should get used to me as well .
Now , can I come in ? Meeting you , Della would be no more important to her than meeting any other pack member .
I explain sternly , causing hurt to flash over her features , then carefully , she schools them to a mask of indifference .
I look back over my shoulder to check on Ayla .
She remains at the island no longer looking afraid , but emotionless .
While I am looking at little wolf , Della uses the opportunity to push pass me and enter the rooms .
Oh , I didnt realize you two were eating a meal together .
I thought thats what we would be doing ? No , As I recall , I never made plans to do any of the sort .
Oh really , Im sorry I must be confused .
Anyway , now that I am here , I would like to introduce myself .
She walks up to Ayla , extending her hand with a smile plastered on her face .

Maybe Della genuinely cares to help Ayla acclimate here ? Hi Ayla , my name is Della , oh my gosh ! she quickly takes her hand back without giving Ayla the opportunity to shake her hand .
Look at your face and arms ! You are covered in bruises .
Wow .
Well maybe we can get you some make up to cover yourself up since you dont have shifter healing after losing your wolf , it could take forever to clear those bruises up .
Im sure you wouldnt want the whole pack seeing them .
I growl , causing Della and Ayla to jerk their heads toward me .
Ayla looks down and to the left on instinct showing me her neck in submission , but Della just scowls .
She does not need to slather herself in your female war paint to cover her bruises .
She is stunning just the way she is .
The bruises are a testimony to the strength that she possesses .
She also will not be meeting anybody else in this pack until she is ready .
Do I make myself clear ? Crystal .
I didnt mean anything by it .

You are correct Thane , she is beautiful .
I dont think Ive never heard you describe another shifter as stunning before , which slightly confuses me since the pack is full of beautiful shifters and you literally see me every day .
That comment has my eyebrows shooting up to my hairline .
Kidding .
Im teasing .
Lighten up .
I dont need you to tell me 1 am stunning .
I already know this .
It would be nice to hear It sometime though .
She winks at me causing my eyes to glow gold and Ronan to growl in my chest .
Della , I am your alpha first and your friend second .
I am telling you now as your alpha to leave .
She heads for the door , looking back at us one more time before leaving , What a clusterfuck .
