Chapter 24: Twitching eyes
"Alpha Justin. Alpha Koan". Daniel acknowledged while the two Alpha’s stared at him like he had grown horns pointing towards his back.
"Sir Lebanon". Daniel acknowledged as well and Lebanon managed a slight nod, the cup of orange juice he held, frozen on the air. It was not a shock he was surprised as well. This was someone that hadn’t arrived all night or since morning and he just showed up like he appeared all of a sudden.
"Beta Raiden". The Beta managed to clear his throat but couldn’t say a word. He finally nodded to his acknowledgement.
"Oh". Ciara gasped when Daniel stepped to her side, stooping down to leave a kiss on her cheek.
He did the same for Stacey and Marcy(who cringed as she was still angry with him) as well. On turning back to his seat, he finally faced them all, keeping a straight face, not a single expression visible.
"My...". His eyes wavered as he sought for the right words to use. "Utmost sincere apologies for any inconveniences I may have caused due to my absence since last night. Please accept my apology for not being present to welcome you in my abode. I’m the soon-to-be Alpha and I didn’t act like one and I’m truly sorry for my actions. I hope we can forget what happened and focus on the fact that I’m here now".
A brief moment of silence passed in the dinning, some of them not fully adjusted to his sudden prescence and were still in shock. However, Alpha Justin spoke up before anyone else did.
"It’s okay. As long as you’re here it’s definitely fine!!! Apology accepted...we were worried earlier on and I was personally angry with you for not being present to welcome us but this apology sums up for the disappoinment".
Daniel bit back a scoff. Justin would do anything to be in his good books. After all, he wanted his daughter be the Luna of the second largest Pack in the Werewolf territory at all costs.
"Apology half-heartedly accepted". Alpha Koan said gruffly, not the type to hide his true expressions and thoughts which Daniel admired. Maybe it wasn’t a bad idea to be in his good books Incase they needed an ally against their rival pack.
"I would completely forgive you if you tell us where you’ve been. I’m sure it can’t be more important than us".
