The Sacred Moon Pack

Chapter 7

"Never!!!" Alpha Brian shouted, "not in my time, not in my reign as leader of the pack, it cannot and will not be".

"But father..." Clint tried to speak.

"Enough!!" his father cut him, "you will not bring this shame on me, your mother and the pack as a whole. What do you want the members of the pack to say?.

"How about my opinion father?" Alpha Clint asked.

"Don't you ever talk back at me" Alpha Brian shouted at his son fiercely.

"Have you for once thought of the lives that Sophia took? Have you thought of the lives of your brothers and sisters, as young and innocent as she appears yet so fierce in battle? Now she has succeeded in working her way into your heart by deceiving you she is your mate, it is f*******n".

"Father please just listen to me, please" Clint pleaded

Alpha Brian was very furious at this point, "the Sacred Sun Pack has nothing in common with the Sacred Moon pack and it will remain so. If you so desire a mate, you will have to wait patiently for the next mating ceremony, there you would find a mate amongst your people".

"But my heart chose her already" Alpha Clint insisted, "she is the one for me".

"Tell your heart to unchoose her then" his father said to him.

"Snap out of this illusion you have created for yourself" Alpha Brian said, "Sophia is a slave, not just any slave but a slave to the entire pack and not even you can change that".

"Father, please" Clint pleaded.

"One day" Alpha Brian said, maybe just one day, you might grow into being the leader of the pack and you must be brave and strong. Is this how you intend on leading the pack when I am no more??. Sophia can not be your mate, she is an enemy from the Sacred Moon Pack, it cannot be her and this would be the last I would hear of this matter" Alpha Brian snapped and walked away from his son in anger.

Clint was disappointed and heart broken but he decided to still talk to his mother. Maybe she would be able to convince his father otherwise but it was not an easy task as the female werewolves were meant to do the bidding of their Alphas even without questioning. That was how loyal their females were cultured to be, asking his mother to talk his father would imply him telling his mother to disobey his father's decision but he was ready to take the risk.

Alpha Clint searched eagerly for his mother with heaviness of heart as he pondered on the words of his father Alpha Brian, he could not place his hands on it if his father just did not like Sophia or it was his hatred for the Sacred Sun Pack.

After searching and searching, he found her in her usual spot, in their garden where she prefers to be most evenings to enjoy the evening breeze.

"Mom good day, sorry to interrupt your rest, I have something very important to talk to you about". Alpha Clint said.

"Clint, what is this about?" she questioned.

"Please mom, I beg of you, with all humility, help me please with my father concerning Sophia" Clint said.

"So this madness of you choosing that slave girl as your mate is true?" His mother questioned. "So the rumors I hear of you getting involved with your enemy is true?" she questioned further .

"I love her, mother" Clint said, "I love Sophia. Not because I want to but because my heart chose her, you should understand this better than anyone else" Alpha Clint pleaded.

"But you know that you are asking for a very impossible thing, why don't you choose a female from your pack, why leave your pack to the pack of your enemy?" she asked her son.

"Do you not know that you are even putting your life in danger", Luna continued "what if she is a spy from her pack and all these are her guise to get free and then she signals her pack and they strike us". She stared at her son expecting a reply but Clint was quiet.

"I thought as much" she continued "you have not thought of that".

"But mother, Sophia is a very nice person if you get to see through her soul" Clint said to defend Sophia, "she is nothing close to anything you just said" he continued. "Please mother, you can talk to father for me, help me plead with him to let me take her as my mate".

"Your father will not even want to hear of it", Luna replied

"But you can still talk to him mother" Clint said.

"You are now becoming arrogant" Luna said, "have you spent a little time to consider the gravity of what you seek, the pain you would subject the pack to, have you considered how Madam Poof react to all of these, knowing that she lost her only child to the Sacred Sun Pack and you, the very son she took solace in, she watched you grow and nurtured you as her own would choose a mate from those who the blood of her son rests in their hands?" she questioned

"But mom..." Clint insisted persuasively, "have you considered the pain Sophia has been subjected to, she also lost something in this war, she lost both her parents in battle, I share also in her pain as her mate, I feel same pain, she could be your daughter mom" he said.

"But she's not" Alpha Luna shot back at him, "she's not. You could as well say the entire slaves could be my children, I will not have you disrespect me in this manner" she said.

"I'm sorry Mom" Alpha Clint apologized "but mom, you of all persons should understan Sophia's pain. Please mom, help me talk to my father, maybe he will listen to you" Alpha Clint pleaded.

Alpha Luna replied her son, "I will not do that Clint, if you are ready to fight this fight, you would do it on your own".

"If you would please excuse me, I need the silence," she said and closed her eyes.
