Will You Do It?

The smell of sweat and the sound of labored breathing were not uncommon sights in the Silver Pack's training room. In the large room, Ullric was training alone at one end of the room. His eyes were serious as he did push-ups for the umpteenth time. For him, this exercise alone was not enough. Ullric had to become even stronger if he wanted to keep up with a wizard who could attack him with the power of a curse.

Witches usually required direct contact with the target to activate their magic. In this case, everything would be finished the moment the witch touched his body. Ullric must continue to train so that he can move faster and more agile than anyone else. Ullric must be able to surpass the speed of an ordinary person's eyes so that he would not be easily caught by anyone anymore.

By becoming stronger and more agile than anyone else, Ullric might be able to protect his mate well. Ullric's spirit rose to the highest point when he recalled the existence of his mate.

It turned out that the saying that finding a mate would make a werewolf stronger was indeed true. Werewolves who have found their mate will strive to be the strongest. Everything is done so that they can protect and keep their mate well.

But halfway through, Ullric's movement stopped when he automatically turned his head towards the door. From a distance, Ullric could already sense that Lulla was approaching him. The man stopped practicing, then waited for Lulla to enter and see him.

Sure enough. Not long after, Lulla did enter and immediately stopped looking when their eyes met. Lulla quickly walked up to him, looking at him with a straight gaze.

"Did you hear the announcement?" Lulla asked to start. It took great effort to keep Ullric from focusing too much on Lulla's face close to his. The man tried to shift his focus, then smoothly answered Lulla's question.

"I have heard. From now on, every pack member must take at least one pack warrior with them if they need to go out," the man replied. Lulla was slightly annoyed that Ullric didn't say anything more after that. Since Ullric didn't start, Lulla was forced to be the one to ask Ullric to go with her whenever she had to go out.

"Incidentally, I have to go out today. Therefore ... Will you accompany me?"

Asking Ullric to accompany her in front of everyone made Lulla very embarrassed. Everyone in the Silver Pack seemed to have known that Lulla was never willing to get close to anyone other than their alpha. Even if the girl had already found her mate, Lulla ruthlessly rejected him in front of everyone. People who already knew how strong the mate bond was started to worry about the couple. But seeing Lulla's current initiative, they thought perhaps their worries were no longer necessary.

In fact, just yesterday Ullric and Lulla's relationship was like water and oil. But today, the girl personally asked her mate to accompany her whenever she had to go out. Whether she realized it or not, Lulla must have also felt that the safest place for her was when she was with her mate.

On the other hand, Ullric was silent without directly answering Lulla's invitation. It made the girl very embarrassed because she thought Ullric did not want to accompany her.

Lulla's face was as red as a tomato, and she immediately continued her speech with a troubling feeling.

"If, if you don't want to, I'll just ask someone else to accompany me."

"Wait."

When Ullric saw that Lulla was about to leave, the man finally came out of his shock and immediately held back his dead hand. Although Ullric had tried to be as gentle as he could, the man immediately released his hand again when he had managed to stop Lulla. Ullric still remembered his promise to the girl. Without Lulla's permission, Ullric would never touch her mate carelessly ever again.

Lulla also felt the cautious attitude shown by Ullric. The girl suddenly felt that her feelings were getting more complicated. In order to keep her feelings, an ancient werewolf like Ullric actually held himself back.

Ullric's actions made Lulla feel that she was truly loved. The blush on Lulla's face did not want to disappear. But this time, the blush appeared for another reason.

"I'm willing, Lulla. No, it's not like that. Thank you for asking me to accompany you out."

For Lulla, having to go out with Ullric every time she had to go out was probably not a big deal. But to Ullric, Lulla's invitation really meant a lot for him. Lulla's actions proved that the girl no longer rejected Ullric's presence. And that, in itself, was considerable progress for both of them.

For Lulla, who was staring at Ullric's face, her invitation was not worth the genuine smile that appeared on the man's face at all. Ullric's normally expressionless face was already handsome. But when the man smiled, his handsomeness immediately went up several notches. Ullric's sharp eyes that were hidden between his hair shone. And those eyes focused on looking at Lulla alone.

Lulla could not bear to stare into those beautiful eyes for too long. She quickly turned around, then went out to calm herself.

"I'll wait for you on the first floor. And you should take a shower first before meeting me again. I don't want to go with a man covered in the stench of sweat."

Before actually going out, Lulla reminded Ullric one more time. Because Lulla did not want to turn around again, the girl did not know that Ullric's smile did not fade immediately even after Lulla went outside.

"As you wish, Mate," Ullric whispered in a low voice.
