Pursuing My Rejected Alpha
Chapter 32

Lucien slid his fingers into Ronan's hair affectionately.

"We are already having s*x. Don't you want to wait until we are married?" he asked.

In response, Ronan unbuttoned Lucien's pajamas and pulled the lapel aside to reveal a sexy shoulder He then kissed and sucked along Lucien's collarbone.

"It's not enough," Ronan said, his gaze burning with l**t. "I want more, Lucien. I want us to be bound to each other properly."

Lucien sighed when Ronan's lips traveled along his jawline and he sucked at one of his earlobes playfully. The red-blonde man rubbed at Ronan's back and reveled in the other man's warmth.

He too wanted to give in to his primal instincts and seal the mating bond with Ronan. Then they would transcend from being fated mates to being actual mates. It was what they both wanted. They were adults. It was fine to do it even before they got married, right? Ronan rose to his feet and carried Lucien to the bed. One by one, the buttons on their pajamas came soon they were lying there with not a single thread covering their bodies. "Lulu..."

Ronan's voice was heavy with desire. His teeth scraped against Lucien's nape, giving Lucien goosebum

.....

"Wait," Lucien hastily spoke up. "Ronan, not now."

Ronan understood as much. After being taken advantage of in his wolf form, Lucien must still be sore "It's alright, I will wait until you heal up."

there.

Lucien shook his head. "That's not it. Ronan, I still need to announce our relationship to my family. And then there is the matter of leadership in the Silent Walkers Pack." Ronan let himself fall next to Lucien and caressed the latter's arm. He did not know how to tell Lucien that is whole family, except for maybe his father, knew about Ronan and Lucien. His mother and sister even threatened Ronan. Speaking about the leadership matter in the Silent Walkers Pack, Lucien already openly told Kendra th did not wish to be the next Alpha of the pack. "If we manage to settle the matter from the first war with Kinnon, who do you think deserves to be yo 's next Alpha?" Lucien heaved a sigh.

"I don't know. I am thinking of just having all alphas compete for the position."

Ronan nodded in agreement. "That might be the best. We don't want another Deacon Clearwater to be the next Alpha."

Lucien moved his hand to caress Ronan's cheek.

"After everything is settled... Let's mark each other."

The corners of Ronan's lips were pulled into a broad smile.

"I would love to."

Naked under the fur quilt, the two men cuddled and entangled their limbs together. Eventually, exhaustion set in and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

In the morning, they woke up to a beautiful sky that was painted with soft colors of pink, orange, and blue. Breakfast was delivered punctually at 8 AM.

After breakfast, Ronan wanted to go back to bed to sleep another round, but Lucien pulled him out of the bed.

"Why?" Ronan asked while throwing himself at Lucien. "Lulu, I am so tired."

"You are on vacation," Lucien reminded him. "If you just want to sleep, you will get plenty of those once we got back home."

The man hugged Ronan and coaxed him with a kiss on the cheek.

"Come on, get dressed. I already planned the whole day for us."

Upon hearing Lucien's words, Ronan's interest was piqued. He thus obediently get dressed and strolled out of the cozy glass igloo with Lucien.

Lucien unfolded a map of the resort area and located a snowmobile rental stall. They rode the snowmobile until they reached the same frozen lake that Beowulf and Landon spotted the previous night. In front of the lake, there was another stall. A man and woman, clearly a couple, were busy renting skating shoes to guests.

"I can't skate," Ronan said with a frown.

"Really? No worries, I can teach you," Lucien said.

Flustered, Ronan pulled at Lucien's waist. "Lulu, where are we going? Why do we have to skate?"

Lucien pointed at the blurry buildings across the frozen lake.

"We are heading to Winter Magic Village. To reach the place, we need to skate across the frozen lake." "But... But..."

Ronan was visibly pale. "What if we accidentally fall and break the ice layer?"

Lucien raised an eyebrow. Was Ronan scared of skating? Awww... That was too adorable.

Lucien chuckled and pinched at Ronan's cheek.

"Don't worry, you have me with you. If you are afraid of falling, just hold on to me."

Ronan pursed his lips. He usually did not require further encouragement to stick to Lucien like a blob of glue. Unless of course it was because he was scared of something and needed Lucien as his crutch. How humiliating. How could he still refer to himself as an Alpha???

Ronan straightened his back and marched toward the stall.

"I want to have two pairs of skating shoes, please," he said confidently.

"Of course. That will cost sixteen dollars altogether for a whole day's usage, please," the elder woman beamed at him.

Ronan was stumped when he heard what the elder woman said. As usual, the CEO of Silverback Corporation had no cash with him and must rely on his lover to pay for both of them.

Trying hard to suppress his laughter, Lucien stepped closer and pressed two ten-dollar bills into the elder woman's hand.

Ronan could barely stand up after he changed into his skating shoes, let alone slide across the ice. Laughing non-stop, Lucien dragged Ronan with him as they slowly made their way across the frozen lake.

"What's wrong, Ronan?" Lucien asked with a wicked grin. "Come on, put your arms around my waist."

Initially, Ronan wanted to preserve what was left of his dignity by relying on Lucien as little as possible. That plan was quickly abandoned as soon as he stepped onto the ice.

Ronan hugged Lucien from behind and buried his face in the latter's neck as Lucien dragged them both across the frozen lake. The other couples who watched them were burning with envy and rage. Must they display their intimacy openly during the day??? Could they not care for the tender feelings of those who were too shy to do the same???

The Winter Magic Village was a piece of heaven on earth. It looked like a warmer version of the North Pole.

The Santa Workshop sold all kinds of hand-made wooden items, such as toys, picture frames, and small kitchen appliances.

The items were laid neatly in rows.

Behind the cashier, carpenters in white shirts and red jumpsuits were working on the goods. They were all very focused on their work, their nimble hands turning blocks of ordinary wood into extraordinary items.

A nutcracker in form of a soldier attracted Lucien's eyes. He took it in his hands and flipped it around.

Ronan furrowed his brows at the toy soldier. "Is that from 'The Nutcracker'?"

He referred to a ballet performance with the same name. Lucien nodded with a smile.

"Yup. Look, isn't he interesting?"

Lucien shook the toy in front of Ronan. Ronan pulled Lucien into a hug and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

.....

"Do you know the story?" He asked.

"Loosely. The nutcracker becomes alive and kills the Evil Mouse King, right?"

Ronan smiled.

"Yeah, it is a good-luck amulet."

"Then it is a perfect gift for my sister."

"Ah. Does your sister need someone to save her?"

Lucien sighed.

"Anna recently got rejected, and now she has an unsightly scar on her cheek. I want to give her some encouragement."

Although they did not talk about it anymore, Lucien knew that Annalynne's feelings for Kinnon had yet to fade. Her self-confidence must have plummeted even lower when Kinnon saw the scar on her cheek.

"I can introduce you to a very good plastic surgeon if Annalynne wants to get the scar fixed."

Ronan's solution was the same as Kinnon's and his. Unfortunately, Annalynne refused to go under the knife. When Lucien pestered her about the reason, she darkly muttered that "with or without a scar, Kinnon is not going to look at me anyway." "Thanks, Ronan. I will contact you when Anna changes her mind," Lucien said, giving Ronan a peck on his lips.

After they exited the Santa Workshop, they had lunch at the Elf Restaurant. The waiters and waitresses were all dressed in red and green elf uniforms. The women wore red hats while the men wore green ones.

The whole restaurant was decorated with fake, giant candy canes and various humongous sweets. There was even a real gingerbread house on display at the center of the restaurant.

"Look, Ronan. The door is made of chocolate."

Lucien pointed at the meticulously assembled house.

"They use caramel to glue the parts together. Smart."

Ronan was filled with dread. Was he going to have another diabetes-inducing lunch?

Thankfully, the menu had more to offer than Christmas desserts. Ronan ordered a serving of roast turkey with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Lucien ordered a plate of tilapia steak with baked beans and lemon-cheese sauce. For beverages, Ronan wanted a glass of Cherry Cocktail while Lucien wanted a glass of Christmas Punch with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

After a fulfilling lunch, the two men walked around the village and talked to shopkeepers who were more than happy to tell about the history of the village.

The Winter Magic Village was originally a normal village in the farther end of Snowmelt City. When tourism hit and the area became popular, everyone in the village started to start winter-related businesses. Thanks to everyone's contribution, the village was in Christmas season throughout the year.

"It is like a dream come true," a happy girl who sold them candy canes said, swooning with delight.

"It does seem like a happy place full of happy people," Lucien remarked.

Ronan took Lucien's hand and gave it an adoring kiss.

"Are you happy?" He asked.

Lucien nodded. "Are you?"

"I am happy whenever you are with me," Ronan replied flirtatiously.

"Even if I force you to bathe in a pool of melted candies?"

Ronan could not think about anything more disgusting than that, but he still lied through his teeth, "Anything as long as you are next to me."

They left the village when the sun was about to set. Each visitor was given a light badge courtesy of the village before they crossed the frozen lake again. The second time around, Ronan developed more self-confidence. He still had to rely on Lucien to drag them both across the lake, but at least he could move by himself.

Once they arrived at their glass igloo, the night already set in. Ronan expected to be pampered with a sky full of stars when he looked up, but he saw something else instead.

The sky was bright with greenish-blue curtains of light that gently swayed as if the wind blew through them.

"Wow," Ronan mouthed.

It was a magical sight. Entirely mesmerizing.

Ronan froze on spot, his eyes glued to the display of light outside of the igloo. Lucien stepped next to him and took his hand in his.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Lucien whispered.

Ronan turned to look at the man next to him.

"Yes," he replied.

The Northern Lights were beautiful, but so was the person who showed him the wondrous sight.

Ronan seized Lucien's cheek and captured his lips in a gentle kiss.

"Hmmm..."

Ronan pushed Lucien against the glass window and deepened the kiss. Lucien sucked on Ronan's lips greedily while taking Ronan's jacket off. Ronan was more than eager to help. Before long, Lucien's naked body was pressed between Ronan's and the cold glass window.

Although the glass igloos were at least a hundred meters away from each other to allow guests some privacy, Lucien did not feel comfortable about the possibility of flashing unsuspecting victims.

"The bed," he managed to say between kisses before he led Ronan toward the bed.

Ronan was pushed to sit at the edge of the bed. Lucien went to his knees between Ronan's legs and looked up at him.

"Lulu? What are you..."

His question was stuck in his throat when Lucien took hold of his shaft, caressed the length, and then pressed the dark red glans against his hot tongue.

"Ugh...!"

Ronan arched his back. His brows were knitted tightly and his mouth was open from the unbearable sensation that spread from his s****l organ throughout his whole body.

The physical stimulation was an out-of-the-earth experience, but the realization that his Lulu, his beloved fated mate, was doing him this favor was mindblowing. "Lulu... Ah..."

Ronan could not stop himself from moaning.

It was not his first time getting a blowjob, but it was his first time getting it from someone he loved. Someone who he wanted to marry and take home as his Luna.

Lucian suckled on the glans like he would the tastiest lollipop in the world. He raised his eyes to look at Ronan's facial expression.

It was his first time giving a blowjob, so he did not dare to be rash. Studious as he was, Lucien had planned it for some time. While he spent his time browsing on his phone, he also searched for tips to please a man with his tongue. A lot of people shared their experiences on the internet, both men and women.

.....

a man, Lucien thought that there was not much he needed to pay attention to.

He was wrong.

He never sucked such a big object into his mouth, and he also never had his organ sucked by another person. He did not know how it would feel if he did this or that.

Ronan was his first. Lucien wanted to be careful. He did not want to accidentally scrape the sensitive veins with his teeth, for example.

Lucien sucked on the glans for a long time before he slowly moved down the length. Every time he took an inch deeper, he made sure to get used to the giant object that was slowly obstructing his breathing process. Ronan's p***s was not only huge but also long. Lucien only managed to shove half of it into his mouth before he started to gag. At that point, he was no longer able to go deeper. Otherwise, he was going to choke. It was alright because Ronan also could barely take the stimulation

Completely turned on, Ronan reached down and held Lucien's face with both hands. He then gently thrust it into Lucien's mouth.

It was a little abrupt for Lucien, but he decided to control his breathing inside. When he got used to it, he started to suck on the iron rod every time Ronan withdrew. It never failed to make the Alpha moan from pleasure. The sight of his p***s going in and out of Lucien's mouth was as mesmerizing as the beautiful curtain of light on top of Ronan's head.

In fact, it was a sensational experience. Enough to make him explode then and there. Ronan had to control himself in order to not shove his manhood into Lucien's throat frantically.

When it became too much for him, Ronan pulled out of Lucien's mouth completely.

Lucien was puzzled.

"What happened? Didn't you like it?"

Ronan was all red from embarrassment.

How could he not like it?

"No, I like it too much, but I don't want to knot inside your mouth."

Ronan grabbed Lucien's arms and pulled him to bed.

Ronan then went to lie down on the bed and motioned for Lucien to climb on top of him.

The two men exchanged passionate kisses while rubbing their bodies against each other. Lucien blushed when he felt the thick rod poking his stomach.

"Turn your back at me," Ronan instructed with a hoarse voice.

Lucien was not sure what Ronan wanted to do, but he did what Ronan wanted anyway.

Ronan then folded Lucien's legs under him with one movement and pulled the latter's waist toward his face. Lucien's buttcheeks were spread, revealing the star-shaped hole in the middle. Without giving Lucien any warning, the Alpha stuck his tongue out and licked at the pink outer ring. Lucien was so startled that he tried to get up right away.

"Ronan, don't, it's dirty," Lucien protested when Ronan pulled at his waist and forced him to sit on his face again.

"It's not," Ronan said. He continued assaulting Lucien's hole with his tongue.

"Hnngh... Ahhh...!" Lucien moaned when a lubricated finger stabbed into his body. It went in and out smoothly.

"You are still soft," Ronan remarked with a smile. Of course he was. They had been f*****g a lot in the few days. Ronan made a mental note to thank Beowulf for his audacity the previous night.

A second finger quickly joined the first. This time Lucien's walls put up more resistance to Ronan's invasion.

"Ahhh... Ahhh..."

Lucien's body trembled violently, but Ronan was not willing to let him go. The two fingers went in and out rapidly while expanding Lucien's tunnel at the same time. Whenever the two fingers spread inside Lucien's body, the man shivered and gave a sweet moan. It was music to Ronan's ears. Occasionally, Ronan thrust his tongue into it. "Aahhh... Ronan... Stop... Ahhh..."

Lucien arched his back and his body tensed up in an instant. The pressure that pooled at the bottom of his stomach was too much to handle. He came hard against Ronan's fingers, shooting his essence in spurts at Ronan's chest and abdomen. Having reached his climax, Lucien became light-headed for a moment. He slumped against Ronan's body uselessly.

The Alpha kneaded at Lucien's round buttocks.

"Ready for more?" He asked while pressing a kiss on Lucien's b**t.

Lucien did not answer but he gave a subtle nod.

Ronan spat into his fingers and pushed the saliva into Lucien's depth. He then turned Lucien around and let the man straddle him.

Still dizzy from his earth-shattering o****m, Lucien put both hands on Ronan's body to support himself.

"Put it in yourself," he told Lucien with a deep, magnetic voice.

The Alpha had both hands under Lucien's buttcheeks. He spread them and positioned the hole above his erect p***s.

Lucien reached down and guided the steel rod into his expanded hole. Closing his eyes, he slowly sat down on Ronan and let the massive tool impale him.

Both men moaned in unison when Ronan was buried to the hilt inside Lucien.

Ronan opened his eyes and saw Lucien straddling him with the amazing Northern Lights as the backdrop.

Lucien's eyes were tightly closed. Pain caused cold sweat to build between his brows. He visibly struggled to adapt to Ronan's size. With Lucien on top, Ronan was able to intrude even more into his deepest recess.

It felt so good, but at the same time also uncomfortable to be stuck like that for a long time. Ronan wanted to move, but he did not dare to. Lucien should be the one to make the first move.

When Lucien opened his eyes again a few moments later, some tears stuck to his eyelashes.

Inside his belly, there was another pulse that was beating strongly.

Lucien took one of Ronan's hands and pressed it against the lower part of his stomach.

"Can you feel it?" He asked. "You are completely inside me."

Ronan answered with a shallow thrust, causing Lucien to gasp. It might be only Ronan's overactive imagination, but he felt like Lucien's belly bulged a little when he thrust into him, bumping against his palm.

.....

"Lulu, you are so beautiful," Ronan said. "You make me the happiest man on earth. I love you very much."

Lucien looked down at Ronan and smiled.

"That makes the two of us."

The Alpha was sprawled on the bed, his perfectly sculpted body was exposed to Lucien's eyes. When Lucien traced the deep lines with his fingers, he could feel the muscles underneath rolling with anticipation.

Lucien took a deep breath and then pushed himself off Ronan's body. His inner walls squeezed Ronan's p***s from the base to the glans. Ronan sucked in a deep breath. He clawed into the mattress and furrowed his brows. It felt so good. A perfect mix of pain and pleasure.

The withdrawal was done slowly, but the re-insertion was done quickly.

When Lucien slammed back down on him, Ronan almost lost his soul. In fact, he might not mind losing his soul to the devil if he could stop the time and preserve this moment forever.

With only the two of them at a place far far away from their friends and families, all the problems that burdened their minds were momentarily forgotten.

Inside the secluded glass igloo, there were only the two of them, a couple in love who were enjoying each other's bodies.

They made sweet love to each other that night. After cumming together once with Lucien on top, Lucien's hole was even softer and more receptive to Ronan's attack. Ronan took Lucien the second time in the missionary position, where he pounded into Lucien while the latter was watching the beautiful display in the sky.

For the third time, he took Lucien from the side while spooning him. The both of them were facing the glass window, so they could admire the Northern Lights together.

After knotting and ejaculating three times inside Lucien's body, Ronan was completely drained. The exhaustion finally set in for the Alpha.

He spooned Lucien and pressed his lips against Lucien's nape.

Ronan closed his eyes to sleep, but then an alarm on Lucien's phone went off, startling the both of them.

Ronan rubbed at his eyes drowsily. Still stuck to Ronan through the knot, Lucien stretched his upper body to grab the phone on top of the nightstand.

Ronan grunted when he felt a delicious pull at his nether region.

His hand wandered around Lucien's back and shoulder. So sexy, he thought.

"What is it?" Ronan asked, pulling Lucien back to bed and pressing a kiss against his back.

The clock was showing 00.03 AM.

Lucien turned his head, put an arm around Ronan's neck, and gave Ronan a loving kiss.

"Happy Birthday, Ronan."

Surprised, the Alpha stared at Lucien for a while before he connected the dots together.

"You remember," he said, smile lacing his lips.

Lucien nodded and returned the smile.

"Yeah."

Ronan could barely believe it. He had only told Lucien about his birthday once, when they were at the peak of their happiness at the Alpha Camp. At that time, the two youthful werewolves were busy making plans for the future.

"Did you forget?" Lucien asked as he moved a strand of black hair from Ronan's face and tucked it behind his ear.

"Back then you told me that your birthday was coming up in a few months. You wanted us to meet up so we could celebrate your nineteenth birthday together."

Indeed, there was that kind of talk. Young Ronan had an impulsive and outgoing personality. Ecstatic by his first serious relationship with his fated mate, the youth had even thought about proposing to Lucien as soon as they left the Alpha Camp.

He did not want to be separated from his lover. He wanted to be together with Lucien forever.

All of his daydreams and wishes turned to naught when their relationship ended. Heartbroken, Ronan subconsciously locked the beautiful memories away in a secret chest and buried it deep inside his heart.

It turned out that Lucien still remembered this little detail from the past.

"I thought for a long time about how to best spend your birthday," Lucien slowly said.

Lucien started planning during the months when he was bedridden. Young Lucien was unable to escape the cage of his physical body, so his mind escaped to a beautiful parallel world instead. A world where he did not break up with Ronan. A world where they went off to a faraway place, a beautiful scenic place to celebrate Ronan's birthday.

When they started dating again and Ronan's birthday was approaching, it was all that Lucien could think of.

"Sorry for the delay," Lucien muttered. "I was unable to celebrate your nineteenth birthday with you. For your twenty-sixth birthday, I wish you all the happiness in the world. May the Moon Goddess bless you with everlasting health and prosperity as well." Ronan tightened his embrace around Lucien and gave the man a long kiss.

"It is such a wonderful surprise. Thank you, Lulu."

Lucien snuggled against Ronan.

"This is only one of many," he whispered. "From now on, let's celebrate our birthdays together."

"Yes," Ronan agreed. Lacing their fingers together, he shared another kiss with Lucien. "We will always be together."

Spurned by the spirit of celebration, they made love two more times that night.

As a result, the merry couple was out cold for the whole morning. By the time they woke up in the afternoon, they were starving.

Because it was Ronan's birthday, Lucien who was not the birthday boy demanded to order two slices of black forest cake with extra whipped cream on top.

Ronan scraped all the cream off the cake and only ate the sponge part. He tried to scrape off the cake in Lucien's plate too, but the latter smacked his hand with the metal spoon.

"We should check your blood sugar level," Ronan said. "How long have you indulged in these sweet stuffs?"

"Not

long."

"How long is not long?"

"Around eight years."

.....

Ronan extended his hand to pinch Lucien's soft b**t.

"I guess all of it goes to your b**t."

He earned himself another smack by a fuming Lucien.

"It does not!"

Ronan laughed. "It's okay. I love touching your b**t when we are doing it."

Lucien grabbed a nearby pillow and smacked Ronan's face.

"Whoa, whoa! Be nice to me! It's my birthday today!"

Lucien had a reason to throw a tantrum.

Thanks to Ronan's excellent performance at night, Lucien's waist felt as if it was going to fall off any moment. He could not even stand, let alone walk.

The man muttered curses under his breath as Ronan helped him drag his feet toward the bathroom to clean himself.

It was not that Ronan did not feel guilty at all, but he was secretly happy that it was their intense lovemaking sessions that made Lucien unable to walk every time.

"What are you grinning about?" Lucien barked.

Ronan quickly wiped the smug grin off his face, but he was still getting kicked out of the shower room.

After some perfunctory cleaning and coaxing, Ronan managed to persuade Lucien to try the home sauna.

Enclosed with the menu booklet was an instruction card on how to use the sauna for maximum health benefit and relaxation.

The two men drank a full glass of water each before they indulged in the dry sauna. After ten minutes, they went out to splash their bodies with cold water in the shower. The cycle was repeated three times, but at the third time they went to roll around in the snow

with only their underwear on.

After drying themselves properly, they got dressed and went to replace something else other than cake to fill their stomachs.

To Ronan's delight, the resort restaurant offered a lot of local specialties in form of fulfilling meals instead of diabetes-inducing snacks.

For their last day, Lucien booked a trip to the Reindeer Farm. It was located deep in the forest, and guests could reach it by using snowmobile or reindeer sleigh ride.

"The Reindeer Farm is managed by my family since generations!" He announced proudly. "Many other people try to start their own farms but nope, they all fail. You know, breeding reindeers is an art in itself..."

Lucien decided for the latter, so he and Ronan sat snugly at the backseat while a talkative driver took them through the forest.

Ronan wanted to cuddle, but Lucien pushed his face away while gesturing toward the driver's back.

Dejected, the Alpha forced himself to listen to the driver's tall tale about how his ancestors started out with only one reindeer.

"Attention, guests! We are going through a dark tunnel!"

A pair of gloved hands reached out and grabbed his jaw.

Darkness enveloped them as soon as they entered the cave. To the driver's credit, he did not even slow down although he could not see anything. Ronan craned his neck to see the end of the cave.

The next moment, Ronan's lips were captured by a pair of soft lips.

Lucien sucked gently on Ronan's lips. Ronan did not need much coaxing before he parted his lips and the two men started making out heavily in the dark.

As soon as Lucien saw the speck of light at the end of the tunnel, he pushed Ronan away and wiped saliva off his lips.

"Aaaaand we are out! How was it?" The driver cheerfully inquired.

Ronan grinned like a little boy on Christmas Day. How exciting, Lucien had learned how to sneak an opportunity for a kiss.

"Exciting," Ronan answered. "Can we do it again?"

The driver laughed. "We will on our way back."

"Can't wait," Ronan said with a grin while squeezing Lucien's hand.

Over at the Reindeer Farm, there were a lot of visitors who were walking around and feeding reindeers in the vast enclosure.

Ronan and Lucien got a bag of reindeer moss to feed the reindeers with. They were very careful not to leak their pheromones in order to not alert the reindeers, but the reindeers still noticed that there was something amiss about them.

Even the wildest ones acted submissive when they came face-to-face with the two alpha werewolves.

To avoid giving the reindeers unnecessary distress, Lucien and Ronan agreed to walk around the farm instead.

Just like the driver said, his family owned the biggest if not the only reindeer farm in the area. They also opened a little bistro in a snow cabin.

After walking around for a while, they decided to eat something before going back.

The snow cabin was full with guests. Lucien and Ronan had to wait a while before they managed to get a table. As soon as they took their seats, a young waitress came over with a tray of two bowls of traditional reindeer soup, a basket of warm bread sticks, and two

cups of warm malt wine. It was free for everyone, whether they ordered additional food or not.

Ronan enjoyed the soup so much that he ordered two more servings. Lucien opted for a plate of fish pie instead.

It was their last night before the vacation officially ended.

On the way back to their glass igloo, Lucien got a message from Kinnon. He then passed his phone to Ronan, who looked back at Lucien with alert eyes. Kinnon planned to come and visit the Silent Walkers Pack House in five days' time.
