Trinity the last White Witch - Chapter 97

[Lyander’s POV]

“If you wanted me for my sperm, then I suggest that you look somewhere else. I’m not interested.”

Colm choked, holding his laughter.

I expected Xana to turn red in embarrassment and leave. But contrary to expectation, she giggled and purred.

“The rumors are indeed true.” She smiled. The corner of her mouth arched in a seductive smirk as she licked her lips. “You’re very blunt. I like that in a man.”

She then coyly tilted her head. “I’ll be blunt with you then. I want your sperm. As the next Alpha of our pact, I must find a worthy father to my child who would be the next in line to lead our pack. And right now, from all the wolves present in here, you’re the most desirable candidate.”

Colm whistled and fanned himself with his hand. “It’s getting hot, isn’t it?”

I ignored him. “Sorry. I’m not interested.”

“Are you waiting for your mate?” Xana asked, eyes dilating. “I heard you’re already in your twenties. Chances are slim in that age.”

My stoic expression didn’t change as well as my deadpan voice. “It doesn’t matter.” I had someone already in mind if I didn’t find my mate.

Trinity’s beautiful face flashed in my head, and a smile almost slipped from my mouth.

“Don’t worry,” Xana purred and caressed my arm. “I don’t care if you like someone else. It’s just going to be a one-night stand. No strings attached as long as I get your DNA.”

A growl almost slipped from my throat, and my wolf wanted to come out. It took a lot of strength and willpower to suppress him from not showing through my eyes. We were not some kind of a sperm donor, and she said it like it was an honor. If she didn’t stop soon, I was afraid we would have to kiss our pack’s relationship goodbye.

Fortunately, Colm interfered. He probably sensed that my wolf was getting angry, and it was becoming dangerous.

“I don’t think you’ll convince him,” said Colm with a grin on his face. “Once he made up his mind, it’s hard to change it. But if you’re looking for a potential candidate for a sperm donor, you might want to ask our Alpha over there. HE is the son of Ernst so . . .”

Xana ignored him. She didn’t even bat an eyelid at Colm like he was air. Colm didn’t have any position in the pack though he was one of the best fighters I know. It was probably why she didn’t put him in her eyes.

Colm didn’t mind, though. Nothing could put a stop at the mischievous grin spreading on his lips except maybe for his vampire mate.

“Our pack has many . . . techniques when it came to bed and mating Lyander. I promised you’ll have one hell of a night with me. It will probably be the best nights of your life,” she purred, emphasizing the ‘s’ in the ‘nights’ part.

I doubted it.

The twin moons hadn’t even risen yet, and I was afraid my wolf would already rip her throat. It would indeed be a night to remember.

My wolf scoffed and showed its ass once more.

“You might want to reconsider,” Colm chimed in again. “Lyander’s wolf is aggressive and didn’t like him having one-night stands. He might turn and rip you apart.”

Xana ignored Colm once more. She leaned closer and whispered near my ear. “Oh, I can handle aggressive men, and I bet your wolf only met weak she-wolves. But once he met my wolf, he’d be in love at first sight. Especially after tasting what I can do.”

My dead eyes looked to the side, and I tried hard not to cringe at her words though my face probably still remained paralyzed as ever.

She was too aggressive for my liking, and it didn’t help that she was getting too close.

“I doubt that. Lyander’s wolf is very picky,” Colm butt in, “For starters, he doesn’t like aggressive women.”

Xana finally lost her patience. She sighed a heavy breath into the sky before facing Colm. “Do you mind? I’m having a conversation with Lyander, not you.”

Colm grind, mischief in his twinkling eyes. “Oh, sorry about that. I thought you were having a one-sided conversation since Lyander hadn’t spoken to you. I thought that I should at least keep you company. You know to maintain the relationship between our packs.”

Xana’s eyes dilated and a low snarl pushed through her throat. But before she could open her mouth, I cut her in for good.

“Sorry, but I’m not interested, so as my wolf. You should find another father for your pup,” I said with a serious expression and firm voice with no room for argument.

Xana’s eyes went back to normal, but the fierceness and confidence on her face didn’t lessen.

“I see,” she said and stood to her feet. “It seemed like I came in wrong. No matter what I said tonight, your mind is close.”

She flipped her hair and swayed away. Her hips rocked side to side as she waved her hand. “I hope you’ll rethink my offer. I don’t give up easily.”

“. . .”

When Xana was gone, Colm whistled and guffawed. “Wow. Among the many women who came at you, she was the most aggressive one. I wonder if she’s really serious about her offer, though. Didn’t she hear about the fact that your wolf is dangerous and once killed a she-wolf for being annoying?”

I didn’t want to remember that part of my life.

“What are you boys doing?”

Our eye flickered to Ernst, who sported a grim face.

“I hope you didn’t do or say anything to Xana. She’s the future Alpha of the Desert Rose Pact,” he said, eyes on me.

“I didn’t do anything. Colm did.”

“Egh?” Colm jerked back and pointed at himself. “Me?”

Ernst sighed and looked at Colm with stern eyes. “So it’s you again. No wonder Xana left looking like that. I warn you time and time again to fix your attitude towards others. Your roguish ways will get us in trouble in the future. Our reputation depended on our members, and if we want to form alliances, we have to start by . . .”

Ernst went on and on, lecturing Colm for a straight ten minutes while I drank my beer in silence.

“Way to go. Is this how you treat a friend who just saved you?” muttered Colm, tone aggrieved.

“I didn’t ask for you to save me, though. I can handle her perfectly well.”

“By what? By ignoring her?”

“It worked most of the time.”

“Are you boy listening to me?” Ernst pinched our ears like he used to when we were little boys.

“Yes.”
