“Let him know that if he doesn’t agree with our terms I will send my finest warriors to burn down that filt of a pack”
Alpha Luca fumes agrily at his Beta. Since the death of his mate Stel, nobody has been able to calm him down. He makes decisions on impulse and no one dares challenges him but now asking for the daughter of the alpha in exchange of his mate who was running away from him seemed too much.
“We have delivered your messages to Alpha Frederick already, but do you think this is the right way to go about it?”
“I understand that I have sought out your opinion as my friend and beta before making judgements but this time around I am not asking you or requesting for your advice, so keep whatever you have to say to yourself”
Beta Raymond sighed loudly, he doesn’t think this is the right way to go about the issue because for all he knows Alpha Luca doesn’t need the young lady and then it wasn’t news that his mate was running away from him when she got killed.
“Stel, didn’t even want anything to do with you Luca”
Raymond spoke softly trying to make Luca reason with him but the situation only got worse.
“Yea.. she was scared of becoming the Luna but we were working things out”
Luca spoke angrily, the thought of loosing his mate just few weeks after finding her aggravated him.
“You know that not everybody ends up with their mate, right?”
“But you ended up with yours Agatha and you guys are having a great life”
The tension had reduced now but the anger could still be sensed in Luca’s voice.
“You guys weren’t going to end up together, Luca. Stel was obviously scared of you, she didn’t even want you to mark her”
Luca grunts angrily.
“Am I a beast now, are you calling me a beast Raymond?”
“I am not saying you are a beast but your father killed her parents Luca, were you expecting her to accept you after what happened with her parents?”
“I am not my father”
“But you act like him”
**********
“Where have you been, young lady?”
Denelle stops right in her tracks, she was not expecting to see anybody awake by this time of the night. She has stayed outside late to avoid being seen by her father who she thought must have heard the news.
“Father, I just went out for a walk”
“Hmm hm… you will be needing all the freedom you can get as your days of exploring will be coming to an end”
“Father what do you mean?”
Isabel walks into them interrupting the conversation, already dressed in her long nightwear. She hands her father a glass of father, it seemed like they were together before Denelle walked in.
“He means that you my sister will no longer be a member of this pack”
Alpha Frederick clears his throat as the two girls turned to him.
“Think of it as a way to redeem yourself from all the embarrassment you have caused this family, you are going to do this pack a great honour by sacrificing your freedom to the Lunari pack”
Isabel laughs historically
“What are you talking about, father?”
“Are you daft or you are too slow that you can no longer comprehend clear English”
Denelle faced her father, waiting for him to explain what was going on.
“Word got to me that you got rejected by your mate”
“Father it is not like that”
“I feel so ashamed to call you my daughter, you have never done anything right”
Denelle was already shedding tears, all her life she grew up trying to please her father but noticing she did was enough for him. He had always made it known that Isabel
Is his favourite child.
“I am so sorry father”
“What are you sorry for?… is it for continuously bringing shame to me or for the consistent embarrassment you have brought to this family”
Denelle broke down on her knees in a pleading position, she didn’t even know what she had done wrong this time around. She was the one that got rejected and still being blamed for getting rejected when Isabel was the brain behind the rejection.
“Stop with the tears Denelle, father has made up his mind and there is nothing you can do or say to stop him from sending you out of the pack”
Alpha Frederick stood up from the chair he was occupying, making his way to where Denelle knelt down lifting her up from the floor. Denelle thought that her father was finally going to listen to her plea so she wiped her tears with the back of her palms.
“Get your things ready you will be leaving tomorrow”
He took his leave retiring for the night. Denelle was left with Isabel who was smirking at her.
“I told you you were going to loose everything, you probably thought there was nothing left to loose but see you just lost your family”
“You are my sister Isabel, what wrong have u done to you?”
“You have done nothing to me in truth but I just do not like a loser for a sister”
She laughs hysterically while Denelle lets out soft sobs
“Do you know what I have heard about the alpha of the Lunari pack? I hear he is ruthless and that his mate was trying to run away from him but it could be just a rumour, right?? I wonder what he would do to you, maybe kill you on arrival”
Isabel continues laughing as she left Denelle standing there after she had made the statement. Denelle had no other option but to accept her fate. She remembers all the times that she had tried to impress their father but the man always seemed disappointed, Isabel was always his first choice even though she was older. Sometimes she wondered if Alpha Frederick was really her father but nobody in the pack had said anything to her to doubt that he wasn’t her father, they did not treat her well not atleast nobody threw mean words her way.
“Maybe this is for the best”
She stands up from her kneeling position and then headed straight to her room trying to hold back her tears.
