to stare at Helga. "I heard that you had intentions of challenging me to a duel. I will aur challenge if you can convince Miranda to share information about the warlock with us."
"Are you willing to give up Helga for me if I win?" Ezra boldly questioned, thinking he let the advantage simply because the Alpha King required his assistance. Siegren couldn't help but scoff at his audacity, but he knew he needed to remain composed. If only he could use his power to control Miranda and make her communicate, he would have done so; however, for some unknown reason, it no longer worked on her.
"Do you honestly believe you stand a chance against me? I must admit, it takes bravery to challenge me and audacity to even consider winning back my wife's affection just for the sake of your pack's gain," Slegren's eyebrow raised, his teeth clenched nightly. But unlike before, Ezra seemed unaffected, as if he had lost all sense of fear. "It wasn't solely because of the prophecy that I wanted for her return. There was a deeper, personal motivation in my desire to regain her affection." Ezra's voice came out in a defensive tone, causing Helga to furrow her brows in confusion. Her husband's reaction mirrored her own, both of them baffled and unsure of what Ezra was implying. Despite that, Ezra pressed on, his words spilling out with determination and an almost stubborn resolve. "The reason I wanted her to come back was because I finally understood that I still love- Before he could even finish his sentence, Siegren's hand shot out and grabbed him by the collar, pulling him in close. The growl that rumbled from his throat was low and dangerous, as if he were on the brink of a transformation. But Ezra stood his ground, bristling with anger and defiance, unafraid to challenge the Alpha King. Helga, on the other hand, moved swiftly between the two alphas, her arms outstretched as a barrier to prevent any violence from breaking out. Her eyes darted between the two powerful werewolves, knowing that if they were left unchecked, they would tear each other apart without hesitation. "Your Majesty, please calm down," Helga ordered sternly before glaring at Ezra, her teeth grinding in anger, "And you, stop spouting nonsense! How dare you say such things in front of my husband? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"Please believe me. I'm not lying! Even after all this time, my feelings for you haven't changed. I was just misguided because of the mate bond with Miranda. I've been regretting everything-
The sharp, stinging sound of a slap reverberated throughout the room, silencing Ezra in an instant. Helga's eyes blazed with anger as she glared at him with a menacing intensity. How could he say such things to her in front of Siegren? Not only was he being disrespectful, but his words were also provoking and only served to enrage the Alpha King even further. Her thoughts were racing, trying to figure out why he was acting this way as her hand trembled slightly from the force of the blow she had just delivered out of sheer frustration. "Enough! Quit spewing vile words before I rip your tongue from your mouth!" She yelled, her voice reverberating off the walls and filling the room. But as she spoke, a shiver of fear ran down her spine, prickling her skin with goosebumps. She could feel Siegren's body tense beside her, on the verge of shifting into his wolf form. With a quick glance, she reached out her hand and grasped his, holding on with all her might as she turned to face him. "Hey, come on, look at me. Calm down."
"No, that f***g b***ar*** to calm him down before things got out of hand. But before she could make contact, Siegren's hand shot out and grabbed onto Ezra's collar once more.
The two men struggled against each other, their muscles straining and sweat dripping down their faces as they fought for dominance. Despite Ezra's valiant efforts, Siegren proved to be too big, too strong, and with a greater reach, easily overpowering him and dragging him out of the study with an iron grip.
"Let's duel right now, let's see if you can still talk after I beat the shit out of you!"
