Chance Meetings

“I don’t know what to do,” Xander mumbles under his breath, his scotch glass hanging loosely in his grip as he stares into the flames of the fire. Ryatt snorts from his seated position in the lounge, his own glass almost empty.

“Well, obviously not what you’re doing now.” The brothers glare at one another, and Irina’s snort breaks their standoff.

“First, you need to get rid of the boyfriend. You’re making her feel like some kind of trollop.”

Xander frowns. “I’m working on it.”

“Well, work on it faster,” Irina snarls, sinking back into the divan with a pout. “The Wselfwulfs are bound to have heard of your soulmarking by now. They’ll demand to meet her at the dinner and see who is set to rule at your side. She needs to be prepared. She needs to be strong, and she needs to be pack. We can’t afford a war.”

“We could if Xander at least marked her. Xander would receive a considerable boost in power and then that power would trickle its way through the pack lines and strengthen us as a whole. But if he could complete the bond… well, the Wselfwulf’s wouldn’t dare near us with that kind of power behind our alpha. Irina is right, brother. You need to move things along more quickly. An alpha soulmark is not something the Wselfwulfs will take lightly. She’s in danger whether she knows it or not. They’ll want her dead to weaken you. To weaken us.”

Xander’s brows draw together, a sneer pulling at his top lip. “An alpha soulmark....” His scoff finishes his sentence.

“Yes,” Irina snaps, her own features pinching together to form a beautiful scowl. “Come now Xander, you know our rank highly dictates not only our strength, but the potency of the soulmark.” Irina rolls her eyes at Xander’s gentle scoff, before narrowing at the slight.

“And what of the she-wolf’s soulmark bond?” Xander asks, his sudden about-face blasé tone and demeanor setting the she-wolf’s shoulders back.

“What of it?” Irina asks her shoulders still stiff.

Ryatt crows as he watches his siblings with amusement twinkling in his eyes. “You need only remember how our sister wears her heart on her sleeve so freely, brother.”

Irina’s chin lifts, her green eyes narrowing on her brother. “She-wolves are known for their passion, and I won’t be mocked for it.”

Xander releases a small sigh, eyes turning to deliver a pensive gaze to the fire. “You’re right, Irina. A she-wolf’s passion should be admired and cherished by the pack, not mocked.” Two sets of green eyes turn towards the remaining Adolphus sibling, whose hands rise defensively in front of him.

“I was merely teasing.”

“And what of Ryatt’s soulmark bond? What will it be like?”

Irina’s eyes widen, a devious smile curving her full pink lips as she continues to stare down her brother. Ryatt’s own smirk falters and he quickly speaks before his siblings can edge in another word. “It will be chaos, I assure you,” he says. In the next instant he knocks back the rest of his drink.
