The Luna's Rebirth

Chapter 3

Jasmine POV

"I will not stand and be insulted infront of every single noble men seated here because of this ratchet." She commented with anger laced in her tone.

"Watch your tongue woman!" I turned around to see Alpha Axel growling at Elena and this action shocked the Luna.

"How can you change your mind towards me. You promised me that I will be your Luna and nothing else will come in between us."

"I made that promise because I did not have a mate. As you can see, that promise will not stand anymore because I have a mate.

"This visitor cannot be our Luna my King." I turned to look at one of the council men standing up to speak. I was not familiar with any of these men, but I knew they did not like me.

"George, I do not want to hear you speak about my mate that way again." Axel warned, but the George stepped forward close to my side and before the council men.

"I do not stand here because Elena is my daughter, I stand here to tell everyone the future of our Kingdom, if a visitor is made our Luna."

"With due respect sir, I am not a visitor to Iron Claw Pack. My ancestors lived here and my grand parents may have left the pack, it doesn't mean that I am not of Iron Claw blood." I was getting tired of being called a visitor

"How dare you talk to my father that way. I now see that my worse fears have become a reality. Council men, I want everyone to know that my position as a Luna has been a preplanned move by this b***h here to take my husband away from me."

"For someone who cannot give the Alpha a child, you have got some audacity to speak." I responded and the whole council men gasped, murmuring amongst themselves.

I could see the nervousness in the face of the Elena, as she tried to hide her head in embarrassment.

"Your highness, allow me cut the tongue of this visitor for talking to my daughter that way." I stepped backwards, as the council man George pulled out a knife from his pocket and approached me.

The soldiers were quick to restrain him and I closed my eyes in horror, seeing Dorian severe the head of the council men.

I looked around the room, seeing the shock on everyone's face. Elena screamed and rushed forward to meet her father.

"Your highness, you have just committed treason!"

"I will have the head of the next man to question my mate's status in this pack." Axel warned, having risen to his feet. "The coronation of my Luna comes forth in the next few days, I want everyone to be prepared."

Dorian held my hands and walked me up to the throne, handing me over to Axel, who held my hands and took me inside his private chamber.

"I have to show everyone that I don't tolerate their act of disrespect in calling you a visitor."

"But severing the head of Elena's father is going to the extreme." I responded.

"I am the Alpha King and I choose who to spare and who to kill. Allow Elena mourn for her loss, but I am certain of one face, no one would ever mess with you again in this mansion."

Later that evening, I walked to the garden where I intended to cook off for the evening, when I encounter Elena by the riverside all by herself. For some reason, I was moved by compassion and the need to console her.

"Elena.." I called the moment I walked towards the riverside.

"How dare you address me as Elena? I am your Luna and you must address me that way." She replied in anger.

"I know this position means everything to you, but you have to understand that the Alpha King's mate cannot be ignored for you. You claim that I am a visitor, but let me remind you that you came through the waters into Iron Claw."

I noticed the shock in her face and I smiled.

"Who told you these gossips."

"They are not gossips Elena. Your father moved to Iron Claw with you as his only child, after the demise of your brother and mother. Should I also remind you of the fact that you stole your way to become Luna too?"

She looked around the garden for any one else, but there was none. "Why can't you shut your mouth up. These tales should not leave your lips to another." She looked around the garden, as she spoke.

"If you want me to keep quiet, then do me the honour of staying out of this Luna position because you are undeserving." I mentioned and got up from the riverside and walk away from the her.

When I entered the mansion, I find Dorian walk up to me with a look of concern on his face.

"I am afraid we may have some trouble on our hands."

"What are you talking about?" The Alpha King has started his drinking habits again and I believe you are the only one that can get him out of it.

The Alpha King? An addict to drinking? It never crossed my mind.

I followed Dorian till we arrived at his chambers, where he was on the floor with multiple bottles of alcohol.

"My Luna! Join me as we celebrate." He said with excitement as our eyes landed.

"Your highness, you are not supposed to be this drunk." I gently helped him up from the floor and helped him over to the bed, where he laid down and dozed off.

"When did he develop this drinking habit.?" I asked Dorian as we stepped out of the room.

"The Alpha had taken to drinking, when his father died in the hands of the rogue when he was just little." I was surprised by the revelation of Dorian.

"I guess the pressure of the Iron Claw Pack and other packs combined was too much and he chose this way as a coping mechanism."
