Tony flashed his teeth in a feral grin and tilted his head slightly, his eyes keen on the unsuspecting prey in front of him. “When will Donna and Ben return?” he asked, his voice dripping with calculated innocence.
Nelly glanced at him, her own gaze filled with a predatory gleam. “Perhaps they will be delayed,” she responded, a sly smile tugging at her lips.
“In that case, I will do my best to avoid their presence,” Tony remarked casually, his tone laced with hidden menace.
Nelly’s eyes narrowed as she continued to observe Tony. “Don’t you ever feel envious of them?” she questioned, her voice low and husky.
A wolfish grin crept onto Tony’s face as he revealed his teeth. “Envy? Why should I? Old Alpha Morris may be my biological great-grandfather, but I am the eldest great-grandson of the Morris family. No one can change that fact,” he replied confidently.
Nelly couldn’t help but let out a low growl, a mix of amusement and admiration. Tony’s words resonated with her, his cunning and ambition shining through. This was not the young boy she had known – he had grown into a wolf of remarkable strength and resilience.
“I have never considered you three as mine,” Nelly admitted, her eyes gleaming with respect. “You have all become wolves of your own, and I will support whatever path you choose to follow. Just promise me that you will grow up strong and healthy.”
Tony’s gaze softened, and he nodded in acknowledgement. “I promise, Nelly. And remember, you should never let us hold you back. Follow your heart and find happiness, regardless of our presence.”
A sense of relief washed over Nelly as his words settled in her ears. She reached out and affectionately ruffled his fur, a grin playing on her features. “You should smile more often, Tony. It suits you,” she commented.
Tony’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, but his gaze remained strong. “I must maintain a stern front, especially when disciplining Ben and Donna,” he explained, the air around him shifting with authority.
Nelly let out a laugh, the sound echoing through the room. “You have done a fine job with them, there’s no denying that.”
As their laughter filled the air, Tony felt a sense of ease washing over him. Suddenly, he remembered an encounter from earlier, his grin widening. “Speaking of encounters, Nelly, I just so happened to run into Alpha Kilian earlier,” he confessed.
Nelly’s eyebrows raised in surprise. “Did he recognize you?” she inquired, her gaze probing.
Tony shook his head. “I think he was in disbelief. After all, who could have expected that two wolves would become three?” he replied, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Nelly nodded in agreement, a playful smile on her lips. “Indeed, the unexpected can be quite shocking. But it is a blessing nonetheless.”
Silence fell between them for a moment before Tony’s voice broke it. “Nelly, I can’t help but wonder… Wasn’t it difficult for you to give birth to us?”
Nelly’s expression turned thoughtful as she recalled the memories. “The pain was insignificant compared to the joy that followed,” she replied, her voice filled with affection.
Tony took a step closer, gently massaging her fur. “You have done so much for us, Nelly. But I promise you, as I grow older, I will repay you tenfold.”
A warm smile graced Nelly’s features as she placed her paw on Tony’s shoulder. “You are already repaying me with the love and strength you possess. That is more than enough.”
Tony’s eyes shone with determination. “It’s not enough. I will ensure that you live a life filled with happiness and contentment, Nelly. That is my vow.”
Nelly’s heart swelled with pride as she heard his words. “I believe you, my dear Tony.”
Suddenly, Alpha Wade entered the room, his presence commanding attention. “Nelly, would you like to take a stroll outside? The night is beautiful,” he offered.
Nelly glanced at the window, the moon’s glow inviting her. “That sounds delightful,” she replied, rising to her feet with Tony’s support.
Tony turned to Alpha Wade, his gaze unwaveringly fierce. “Gramps, you can rest here. I will accompany Nelly,” he stated confidently.
Alpha Wade studied them both for a moment before relenting. “Very well. Take care of her, Tony.”
With that, Tony and Nelly ventured outside, their steps resonating with a wolf’s pride and determination.
As they walked, their conversation blending with the nocturnal sounds, Nelly’s eyes caught sight of a figure ahead of them. She froze, her instincts on high alert. Standing before them was a tall man, his gaze piercing and intense.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
The werewolf within Nelly awakened, her senses sharpening. She knew that this encounter would shape their future in ways beyond their imagination.
