2_ wait for me

Narrator"

Dark, gloomy, bitterly cold, and deafeningly silent. That was the customary mood of the Crimson Blood Pack's colossal mansion. A group of wolves that live underground. The creature here wasn't experienced enough to see the whole form of the sun, moon, and even the whole world. Why? Because they were thousands of feet above.

However, they were unaware that there was a passage to the surface. They were unaware of this since the route through the passageway was too risky, and passing through it required overcoming numerous obstacles.

But first, they wanted to determine whether there was an escape route from the location where their clan had been residing for millennia.

"Could you please wait for me, Killian? Someday, you'll realize that I, too, will mature like the other girls who have around you. I'm going to save the entirety of myself for you, which means you're going to have to wait for me, huh? promise. "

I was looking at our alpha's daughter when I patted her hair and smiled at her. The small child frowned.

We've arrived via my hidden location. Indeed, I was unaware that she was following me before. I was the son of Zeta, one of the Crimson Blood Pack's four war generals. In the event of a fight, my father received direct commands from the Alpha. While the Alpha may declare war, the Zeta commands the army and plans the conflict. Additionally, they prepare candidates for future as an Eta, an Eta, or more.

"Do you think I was joking? Or did you take this as a joke because I was ten years younger than you? "

I awoke from an extended period of thought when the small child tramped her feet to the ground. It appears as though I irritate her quite a bit.

"Hahaha, of course, no Serena, I'm just thinking that I'm the only son of Zeta in our pack. Are you that fond of me? Serena, were you aware that our family treated you as a servant and that you had a partner whom you would eventually meet? You must keep your vow for your mate and not for a common wolf like myself.

The little girl, who was seven years old, gave me a serious look. I can't stop myself from smiling. You can already tell how gorgeous she is at such an early age, and she will become much more beautiful as she grows.

Her emerald eyes glowed in the sunlight. Both her pinkish cheeks and lips were flawless.

However, the question is whether she will still like me if she marries when she becomes eighteen.

I close my eyes as a sharp pain in my chest strikes.

"What is happening to you, Killian?" I opened my eyes and saw the troubled expression on the small girl's face. I wish I had the right to stare at those green eyes every day, but I am aware that I do not.

I examined my canvas. I was painting the scenery. This is the only location I enjoy. And with this small child in it, it appears to be perfect.

Serena was constantly expressing her admiration for me and her desire for me to be her husband when she grew up. I brushed it aside. Not only was she too young, but she was also the alpha's daughter. Naturally, our leader would prefer that her daughter marry a guy her age or at the very least his mate, not a simple guy like me.

I inhale deeply. What was I thinking? Why would I compare myself to this little girl's soon-to-be husband? As if I care about a tiny child ten years younger than me.

As a result of my shame, I promptly collected all of my dispersed belongings. What on earth was I thinking?

"Serena, your father was probably looking for you. Let us return to the castle."

The tiny child took my hands in hers, and there it was again, the chest agony.

Why do I constantly get that way whenever this tiny kid is nearby?

I shook my head and pretended not to feel the agony.

"Where the hell did you take my daughter, young man?"

I leaped to my feet in amazement as the Alpha exclaimed, "He was not far away from us." I shoved the female ahead of the alpha.

"Alp... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I simply..."

I stutter as I close my eyes. I'm at a loss for words as to how I'm going to convey to him that his daughter followed me. How was I to convince him that I had not stolen Serena and that she had followed me without my knowledge? He would undoubtedly inquire, "I'm that weak not to notice her daughter." I take a deep breath...

"Avoid being enraged with Killian's father. He did not coerce me into accompanying him. I was the one who tracked him down. I was simply interested as to where he would go with his collection of paintings, and besides, he would be my future husband. I must know what he was up to!"

My eyes widened as I processed what I had just heard. My head shook.

That is not what she said, is it? She should not have expressed it in that manner! She was unable to...

The alpha approached us and was carrying his daughter. I'm still taken aback by his seriousness, and I swallow hard when he stares at me.

"What are you telling me that he would be your soon-to-be husband, honey?"

The alpha inquires, his stern gaze still fixed on me.

I'm doomed, I reasoned. I had no idea Serena would say it out loud, considering how many times she has said it whenever she sees me in secret, such as when she would sit opposite me if my father had a meeting via the alpha or she could see me in a quiet spot.

I'm not sure how a small child could say such a thing to a seventeen-year-old boy at her age and believe she was still seven.

"Are you thinking of marrying our son, Zeta Serena?" The alpha stated, and his daughter agreed with a nod of her head.

Serena stated as I was about to pass out, "I tell him to wait for me,"

"Do you like Killian that much, my princess?" Serena nodded in response to the alpha's question. "To begin, from

He will now serve as your personal bodyguard. Do you hear me, Killian? To begin, I'd like to entrust you with the responsibility of defending my princess in every manner possible.

My pupils dilated. I became Serena's personal guard from that day forward. He wasn't sure whether that was a good or a terrible thing at the time. He was powerless. This was their Alpha's directive.
