Nykon left as he was ordered to go call Sephora, but he wasn't glad.
"Here my words now Leon, don't dare reject our mate to avoid regretting it in future…" Roan said to him, but he turned deaf ear.
"Look Roan, she was sold to me as a slave, but I was ready to make her my Luna because she's my mate… but because of this, she will the slave that she is…" Leon uttered, referring to his Wolf.
Roan howled and howled so loud again out of anger. It felt bad at the moment.
"Your majesty, I've sent for her and she will be here soon…" Nykon referred to him.
He nodded while on his feet. His beta's got seated again as they all watched him pace round the room waiting for Sephora to arrive
****
She was deep asleep when Nykon knocked on her door, she got on her feet and rushed towards it.
This is the first time she's having a peaceful day in her life… and it's gonna be a day she will never forget.
"Hi Nykon…" she waved her hand at him smiling.
"Ma'am Sephora… his majesty ordered that he wants to see you now. He's with his beta's…" Nykon explained.
She rolled her eyes. "Is everything okay with him?"
"I don't know ma'am… but that's the order he gave me.." he replied.
Sephora nodded… "Okay then, tell him that I'm coming now."
Nykon acceded and left the doorpost instantly, while she left back into the room.
Her heart felt troubled as she wondered the reason behind the Alpha king's call.
"Sephora…" her wolf called out in a teary voice.
She twisted her face. "What's wrong with you Mia? Are you okay?"
"I'm not okay Sephora… our mate wants to reject us and e*****e us because of our background." Mia stated.
She widened her eyes… "My goodness! You mean that's the reason he sent it to me huh? I told you he will reject us once he finds out.. didn't I?"
"I know you did, but you can't run away from fate…" Mia explained.
Sephora got seated on her bed, she was almost in tears at the moment.
"I'm escaping from this palace now… I won't let him see us talk more of enslaving us.." Sephora uttered.
"There is no hidden place for us." Mia sounded in pain.
"But I can't serve my mate as a slave… isn't that shameful? He might get another she wolf to be his Luna." Sephora wiped her face.. "I guess the moon goddess made a mistake this time… Alpha Leon doesn't suit me nor belongs to me."
She got on her feet instantly and grabbed her footwear, had it on and twitched out of the room taking the back door.
It's better to leave the palace than being a slave for her mate… that's heartbreaking.
****
Leon had been standing for over ten minutes since Nykon announced that Sephora will be with him within seconds… yet he hasn't set his eyes on Sephora.
He turned to his beta's to see them all worried… "Nykon…" he called out to the young man again.
He rushed to him and bowed down.
"Sephora isn't here yet… what's holding her inside the room all this while?" He referred to his servant.
Nykon gritted his teeth. "I'll go check what's holding her in there now. I'm sorry, your majesty." He dashed out of his sight instantly.
He reached the door and knocked repeatedly, but didn't get an answer… It bothered him.
"Excuse me Nykon…" a feminines voice made him turn.
He saw Masha with a tray of food in her hands.
"Are you getting the food for her?" He inquired.
She nodded.
"Please let her know that the Alpha king is still waiting for her… and she's keeping him waiting." He announced.
Masha acceded and left into the room, but to her greatest shock… the room was empty without a soul in it.
"Ma'am Sephora.." she called, searching around the room… "Ma'am Sephora…"
She left the room.. "I couldn't find her there… why not search by yourself."
Nykon moved into the room with her… he searched thoroughly but didn't find him.
With fear, he rushed to the Alpha's chamber.
"Your majesty… she is nowhere to be found. I've searched thoroughly the way I can, but couldn't get her." Nykon announced.
His wolf howled out of anger… "My mate is missing Leon, and I'm not happy about it."
Leon shook his head without responding. "Are you sure you searched everywhere?"
Nykon nodded… "Masha even helped me in searching for her."
That will never happen.
"Now, move… go after her and make sure you return with her, then throw her into the dungeon." His hoarse voice echoed to the hearing of his servants.
They all took to their heels taking different directions, just to make sure she's captured.
He glared at the betas seating round his throne, and hissed, taking a heavy breath.
"A bastard can never be my Luna…" he remarked.
The beta sat watching around while he paced round the room.
"You just called our mate a bastard… who told you that Leon…" Roan yelled at him.
He grimaced. "That's what she is since she doesn't have a father. And mind you Roan, an omega can't be my Luna… I need either a beta or one with an alpha blood."
"You being stupid this time… being an Omega doesn't mean that she isn't a wolf." Roan retorted.
He hissed. "Moon goddess made a mistake this time, because I'm gonna get myself another she wolf that will be my Luna."
"Maybe you've forgotten that Sephora is the only one we love in this pack… others are like enemies to us." His wolf was so annoyed.
He heaved a big sigh but didn't feel relieved. "I don't care… she will be my slave and I'll get myself another she wolf."
Roan felt hurt… he felt a sword was pierced in his heart. "Remember that I'm your wolf… and she is our mate. I will never stop being cold hearted to any wolf of this pact except Sephora… and when I feel irritated, you are ready to murder whose over I want."
He gasped… probably, Roan is telling him the truth, but he has made his decision already.
He lifted his face to see Sephora held at each hand by his guards… then he moved closer to him.
"Who knows if you're a witch… that's why you escaped without answering my call to know the reason I called you." He uttered to her.
She was breathing so fast that she couldn't say a word.
"I Alpha Leonidas Aragon of the Greycrest pack thereby reject you miss Sephora from being my mate… and I don't care what it's gonna result." He declared.
Sephora noticed her wolf crying bitterly but she couldn't console her because she herself was also in pain.
"You rejected me." Was all she could say.
He nodded. "Yes I did."
Tears tried rushing down her cheeks but she held herself. She can't break out in tears in his presence or he will mock her the most.
"Take her away from here and throw her into the dungeon. That shall be your room, and you'll be my slave till lifetime." He ordered the servants who were holding her.
They took her away from his sight and he left back to his throne.
Roan couldn't bear the pains she was gonna pass through there, so he began growling and barking.
He bared his teeth.
"You all should leave now…" he ordered the beta's and they all left instantly.
He got on his feet and left the throne to his room… Roan was frustrating him so much with his anger and that's the hell he's passing through.
His wolf wants everything in his room scattered, but he doesn't… so he quietly laid down on the bed and dozed off.
******
In the evening…
He was leaning his back on the wall but awake, when a knock came on the door.
"It's Nykon… your majesty." He uttered at the doorpost.
He is the only one who has the guts to step into his room… if not him, then no one else.
"Come in…".
He walked into the room and bowed down. "Your majesty, you have a visitor."
His lips twisted. "I am not expecting anybody."
"She's a female by name Elsa. According to her, she's the sister to Sephora and is here to tell you a secret about her." Nykon announced.
He narrowed his eyes… "A secret..?" He asked him.
Nykon nodded.
"Do you know anything about the secret Roan?" He asked his wolf.
But he didn't reply to his question. He could tell how annoyed he is, but that's not his business.
"Let her in… I'd like to know what the secret is all about." He referred to Nykon who left the room instantly to go get Elsa.
He left his room to the visitor's room and got seated waiting for Elsa.
"She's here.." Nykon announced.
He lifted his face to see a damsel walk in majestically and bowed her head.
"Greetings your majesty…" She greeted him.
He ordered her to get seated. The secret is what he wants to know.
