Chapter 79: Of Hearts That Wanted to Unlearn
[GREALOR]
Alpha Ashton was furious with all that was happening, but even he was smart enough to know that nothing he tried would work.
His warriors were already dead right outside and his son and the warriors in the room were forced into silence, not to mention Tamiko and Igor were still kissing each other, like they hadn’t caused enough chaos.
Toshiro was wearing a smirk, even as he watched the Lycan warriors ready to strangle the life out of everyone in the room. Something out of his control was happening and Alpha Ashton was confused for the first time in so long.
The man who was parading as Toshiro was different and way too familiar.
Alpha Ashton could have sworn that Toshiro was the Lycan king, but then he knew King Zaffuto. If the man knew that his son was alive, Grealor would have fallen. So, this was just not making any sense to them.
"Why do you want a wedding so bad when it’s clear you don’t want to let go of Tamiko? He is an outcast and he is your erasthai. By now everyone already knows that.
"What are you hoping to get by marrying your soulmate off to my son?" Alpha Ashton asked, forcing Igor and Tamiko to break the kiss and turn to him. He couldn’t understand, but perhaps Igor was done playing defense with the alpha, right?
"You want me to spell it out? Fine. Everyone, take your positions," Igor said and the warriors went back to their original positions, while Toshiro slowly faded like he hadn’t even been there.
Tamiko had learned over the course of the previous week that Toshiro was just a soul roaming the palace, a soul that took care of people and he had been the third one to see him.
Of course, Lord Sadako had been the one to give the ridiculous explanation to the young Lycan, and while Tamiko had his suspicions, he never once asked about them. Perhaps that was also why when Toshiro faded into nothingness, Tamiko was still composed.
