He waited for answers. Crimson gaze remaining on the pair before him as he felt the fur on the back of his neck bristling slightly, but it would go unnoticed. He had enough self control to keep his cool when he needed to, and while he had every right to chase the trespasser out then and there or even attack him or whatever else, he refrained. Not for his nephew's sake, but for curiosity sake. He wanted to know what they had to say first...but it seemed the trespasser had no words, and instead it was Tyranis that would speak. His nephew greeted him, hesitantly it seemed, and Acere didn't miss a single movement as he watched him. He would introduce the other male as Kai...“He’s my lover.”
What!?
It wasn't so much the fact that Tyranis had an interest in another man that had shocked him, but the fact that...didn't he have a mate?! The shock was somewhat visible in the way his eyes widened ever so slightly at the news. He always knew Tyranis was somewhat of a wild card...but this? But that wasn't what shocked him the most, no. It was the fact that Tyranis was asking him for permission to allow his friend...or lover...or whatever he was, to come and go as he wished. It was here that Acere put on an unreadable mask as his gaze slowly moved from Tyranis to Kai, and back.
"No." He said firmly. "It is one thing had he waited at the borders...but to deliberately trespass and completely disrespect my pack?" He growled, tail tip twitching as he tried to keep his face smooth while speaking. "I could force claim you here and now for trespassing, or attack you and scar you..." He let the threat hang in the air for a moment before continuing, "Tyranis, I am extremely disappointed in you. It seems I cannot trust where your loyalties lie, even after everything? Furthermore...you have a mate whom you brought to Winterfell and have children with...does she know about this...this...affair, of yours?"
Would she care? Were they even in love? He had seen the way she looked at Tyranis once or twice, and couldn't help but feel that she felt strongly for his nephew. But...was the feeling mutual from his end? It seemed not. "Kai will not be allowed within Winterfell's borders to come and go as he pleases. He will be treated as any loner who trespasses the next time he attempts to do so." He fixed a hard gaze on the both of them. The urge to say more and do more was strong, but for now he would let those words sink in before saying anything else. Would they take him for a fool? He hoped not. If there was one thing he wasn't, it was a fool. He would not allow disloyalty nor distrust to breed among his ranks, family or not. |
