|| OKSANA's POV || Sweat began to form my head in nervousness. Raemon was trembling in fear. He was giving off an aura like he had no wolf at all. I glanced at Kendrick, his fists were clenching in anger. I could tell that he was holding back his anger because of the Alphas in front of him. The crowd fell into an awkward silence. Raemon, my baby continued shaking as he kept looking down, unable to follow his father's order. Kendrick said between his gritted teeth, trying to sound patience, " Son! DO IT!!" Another few moments of silence passed but nothing changed. When Kendrick was going to command again, Dimitri stepped in to tell in a polite voice, " Alpha, my prince is still very little. Perhaps he needs time to grow up. Why don't we postpone this part today? It's inappropriate to keep the guests waiting." A few of the Alphas nodded their heads reluctantly. Kendrick opened his mouth to say something but he stopped because of the Alphas here. He said through his gritted teeth, " Take him away. I will teach him later." Dimitri was quick to take off Raemon from the stage. I took my son back from his arms. I didn't want him anywhere near my son. He was loyal to Kendrick and he was going to do anything for the sake of his Alpha. As soon as Raemon returned to my arms, he burst into tears. He was afraid because of the commands. But the way he kept staying silent in front of Kendrick after receiving his commands, it left me with questions. No wolf in the werewolf kingdom could resist the command of the Alpha king. How did Raemon do that? I took Raemon to the back yard to keep him calm. I had no idea about the rest of the event but everyone was gossiping. They began to raise questions against Raemon's status as an Alpha. Truth to be told, I had no wishes for my son except his well being. I didn't care if he became the Alpha king or not. Wiping my tears, I sat next to the pool,not caring about dinner. Sometimes It was better to be alone than to be inside a bunch of snakes. _______ || DIMITRI's POV || " I think, something is wrong with the Alpha king's son. He wasn't even close to showing his wolf." The Alpha from Mistwood pack told the other Alphas in a mysterious voice. They enjoyed gossiping about a little guy who was scared out of his s**t in front of the Alphas. I was forced to join this gathering. Apparently Alpha Kendrick didn't do anything except f*****g. As his beta and second in command, I had to join every gathering to socialize with these arrogant men. I sucked onto my liquor. Taking a gulp, I replied firmly, not hiding my disappointment at their comments, " I think, you all are thinking too much. Raemon is a shy boy. He will eventually be an Alpha. An Alpha's son can never be an omega naturally." Another Alpha replied with a smirk, shooting me a glare, " You seem so protective of him, Beta Dimitri. Even his own father barely cares for him." The liquor in my throat stuck between. It was indeed true that I couldn't help but feel protective of Raemon. He became sunshine for me. Whenever he gave me his smile, I felt my mood lightening within a moment. Another Alpha added, sipping his own wine, " Maybe he is a bastard. Who knows! By the way, the Luna looks delicious." I had enough of their shits. Gulping the last bit of wine, I stood up in a shot, glaring at the Alphas in disgust, " Enough! Don't forget that you are talking about the Alpha king's mate and his son, Gentlemen. Next time, watch your tongue!" I left the group within a moment. Hearing filthy words from their mouth made my mind boil in rage. Grabbing another liquor, I went out to look for Oksana and Raemon. They had been missing from this party for too long. A servant said that they weren't in the pack house. So I dashed straight to the backyard, a favourite place of Oksana. She had been hiding there whenever she was upset for the past few years. As expected, I spotted her back, Raemon was sleeping on her lap. I approached them without hesitation. As soon as she felt my presence, rage flashed in her amber eyes. She hissed in an irritated voice, glaring at me, " What the f**k are you doing here, DIMITRI? Get out! I don't want to hear your lecture." I let out a helpless sigh. Perhaps I was too cold. She always had the thought that I would ruin her peace. Ignoring her little threat, I asked, opening my arms, " Let me hold him. You have been holding him for too long possibly." She looked reluctant but gave up after hesitating for a while. I sat next to her, holding Raemon in my arms. He was sleeping soundly. Everything about today had scared him off. Oksana kept sitting in the distance. More than a few inches gap could be seen between us. I wanted to let out a chuckle by her puffy cheeks. We continued sitting in silence until she moved her hands casually. Her long cut gown revealed her sexy legs. That moment, I spotted a long cut on her left thigh, freezing my eyes for a second. The cut was quite long and deep. It left me wondering what had happened. Then I remembered the incident happened a few hours ago. Kendrick raised his hands on her. She definitely got the cut from his beatings. I asked a little loudly, looking down at her bruise, " Why haven't you healed yet? Are you punishing yourself?" She gave me an awkward glance then looked down at her own bruise. Awkwardly covering it with the dress, she scoffed with a shrug, " Don't bother. It's none of your business. Besides my wolf isn't as strong as your Alpha. It can't heal so fast." I felt a string in my heart. After getting abused by her mate, did she really have to endure the pain as well? I offered, stretching my hand at her, " Let me help,Luna." She shot me a glare of disbelief. Looking down at my outstretched hand, she denied with a blank face, " I don't want your pity. Besides, you are just a beta. How can you heal me, huh?" She said before attempting to leave the sitting bench. I grabbed her arms hard, pushing her back on her seat again. Without any explanation, I growled at her face, opening her legs to see the bruise, " For f**k, listen to me once. It will be more painful if you don't heal quickly." She wanted to protest but I had already parted her legs apart, allowing myself to see her bruise stubbornly. I put one of my arms on her left thigh, touching the bruises carefully. As soon as my fingers touched her bruise, a small gasp came out of her mouth with the stuttering words, " You.. what are you doing,Dimitri?" I replied with a sigh, taking a closer look at her wound, " Healing you! Stay tight, Luna." She kept trembling under my touch. After putting my free hand on her hand, I started using my own healing powers. It took only seconds for her skin to turn into normal. She was shocked and speechless at the same time. Just when I was about to get up, she blurted in a suspicious voice, looking deep into my eyes, " Who are you, Dimitri?" I froze at her words as her eyes held a certain demanding answer....
