Chapter 1130: Aurora (9)
We all broke our rules for someone.

"Did she reject you?" asked Torak directly. He didn't want to have small talk with this lycan in front of him.
"No," Draghar answered directly. His answer sounded firm and filled with delight, realizing that what people were saying about how his mate would reject him immediately, turned out wasn't true.
Hearing that answer, Torak again grumbled in an indistinct voice. "Then come with me, we have something to talk about," he said in his Alpha voice. "This matter would be easier if my daughter rejected you."
Draghar frowned upon hearing Torak's words, but just like Kayden, it was the worried tone of someone who loved and cared for you deeply.
Draghar couldn't be happier than this to know that his mate grew up in a family that loved her and Aurora has neither lack of love nor lived a hard life.
Thus, Draghar was determined to do everything possible to provide the same thing as this.
Maybe not the same as what Aurora got from her family here, but at least it was close… he hoped that Aurora wouldn't be disappointed…
"Right now?" asked Draghar as Torak went ahead of him and ordered him to come with him.
"Yes, right now," answered Torak without turning his body.
With no other choice, Draghar then followed Torak and walked beside him, because as an Alpha, the beast within him didn't allow him to be overly dominated by other Alphas.
The two of them walked down the corridor in silence and as they walked past Aurora's room, Draghar slowed down just to stare at the closed door.
Draghar knew it was his mate's room from the strong scent there.
"Don't you dare go inside," Torak warned and quickened his pace so that the lycan wouldn't stare at his daughter's bedroom door for long.
On the other hand, Draghar laughed softly when he heard what Torak had just said.
"There is something funny?" asked Torak, he frowned and walked into his study. "I don't remember when I threw a joke at you."
"Kayden said almost the same thing a moment ago," Draghar replied, he then entered the room and closed the door, sitting down on the chair opposite Torak, with only a long table between them.
If these two decided to fight each other, then no one would be able to stop them now.
Or when this conversation turns into a heated argument, then of course a long table alone would not save the situation.
"It's good that you've received enough warnings." Torak then stared intently at Draghar through his brilliant blue eyes.
And Draghar immediately knew, where did Aurora get those blue eyes. But, of course, Aurora's blue eyes were much more beautiful than her father's.
"Take off your hoodie," Torak ordered. "It would be very rude if you spoke to your interlocutor without looking him in the eye. I think you know the etiquette."
Immediately Draghar stiffened and this slight change did not escape Torak's sight. He didn't understand what made this lycan so reluctant to show himself, even though several people had seen the wound on the left side of his face.
With one sharp and deep breath, Draghar tugged at his hoodie and exposed his face under the bright light.
And this made all of his wounds look much clearer, also showing some of the wounds on his arms which were not covered by the jacket he was wearing.
"What do you want to say?" asked Draghar, he looked directly at Torak. His tone sounded much stiffer and his voice much deeper because of the tension in the air.
"I want your pack to be directly under my territory again," Torak said without preamble. "This is not a request, but a demand."
Draghar narrowed his eyes at Torak when he heard that. "Why should I do it? Because I'm your daughter's mate?"
"Yes," Torak answered curtly. There's no more perfect reason than that.
"What if I refuse?" Draghar leaned over and looked at Torak.
Now the two Alphas stared at each other intently, and like gasoline waiting for a single spark to ignite the entire room, that was the current situation between the two of them.
"I will insist." Torak leaned towards Draghar, signaling how serious this matter was and how important it was. "I will use all means to ensure that my daughter is in a safe place."
Torak emphasized every word he said. Either because he already knew what kind of pack Aurora would enter or this was just purely his concern as a father.
Draghar couldn't determine which excuse Torak used, but one thing was certain for their current situation; they both have the same goal.
"Alright," Draghar replied lightly. If this was really for Aurora's safety, then he would agree to anything, not because he felt intimidated.
Torak narrowed his eyes slightly because he got the answer easily. He had thought of a way to enforce his will, even the most extreme way, but with just the one reason Raine suggested, Draghar readily agreed to it.
Sometimes Torak was amazed by how Raine could offer a solution so calmly.
"It's not as difficult as I thought to get your approval." Torak stared intently at Draghar.
"It wasn't me who made the decision to separate my pack from your territory," Draghar answered quickly. "It doesn't make any difference to me anyway, whether my pack is in your territory or not." As long as Aurora's safety was guaranteed, then anything was fine with Draghar.
Torak only raised his eyebrows when he received such a nonchalant answer. "I have a feeling you don't believe in being able to protect my daughter while in your own pack."
"How are my people…" Draghar ignored Torak's last sentence and changed the subject as if he didn't want to talk about the matter.
"They will be released tonight," said Torak, he then rested his back on the back of the chair and looked at Draghar's face. "Where did you get your wound from?"
Unfortunately, Torak was not someone he could just ignore, because once Torak wanted something, he would get it, as well as the answer to his question.
