Chapter 37: You Will Never Walk Alone
[TAMIKO]
"You wanted a chat with my father, no? Come along, I'll show you the way, but just make sure my mate is well-fed, or we'll have problems,'' Gabe growled, ignoring the shocked faces of his best friends, and Igor let out a hearty laugh this time.
He had never thought that this would happen this soon. Granted, he had been sure that Gabriel Grealor wasn't going to let his mate go that easily, but this outburst, this was golden. Oh if only he could record the face that Gabriel was making while at it.
"That's cute and all, but try that again, and you will be dead. It's obvious you knew about the ate bond even before the damn mating ceremony that was just held. So the question I should be asking is, what is really stopping me from snapping your neck right now?
"I am from Kawai, and will always be welcome home regardless of my sins. Threatening me with bounties is stupid, because what lycan needs a bounty when Kawai is paradise on its own?" Igor said casually as he stared at Gabe.
The young alpha was slowly realizing why it had always been hard for anyone to try and threaten Igor Konstantin. The man knew the good and bad of what he was going to do and he knew what the outcome would always be for him.
And that was simply the road back home, given the cyan king had forbidden the punishment of any lycan outside Kawai.
For a king who couldn't give two shits about what was happening in his kingdom, he had made sure Sadako had updated the rules to benefit his people. He may have been the face of death itself, but Zaffuto Hinata cared for his people.
"Kosta, I'm hungry," Tamiko whined lowly, knowing so well that that was the only way to calm Igor down. He was sure Igor could continue this banter for as long as his life lasted, but that wasn't what Tamiko wanted.
Besides, there was a lot that Tamiko had to work on, and the longer he stayed on this side, the more work he would have to face.
'Shut up if you know what's good for you. You sound like a dying dog trying to bark up a tree that won't give two shits. Pretending to care about me doesn't suit you. So you can either fuck off, or watch me reject you before the whole kingdom.
