Gabriel raised his head to look at his father as he fought through his pain and rage. "how long are you going to live like this?, your mother and I are both worried sick". "they took her from me father, they took my spring from me they will pay". His fathers heart broke at how much his son was hurting behind closed doors. "with the way you are going you will lose you mind soon without a feminine scent around you, look at you when was the last time you had a woman with you”. "I don't need a woman father!" He yelled anger evident on his face. "Am sure you don't, but your wolf does and your pack needs a Luna and if you can't do that I have to strip you of your alpha rights' '. He stared at his father in shock. " you can't do this my title as Alpha is all, I have left". "then protect it, and by doing so you will marry the daughter of the Alpha king". "What, do you even understand what you are saying father?". "yes I do, the king and I have agreed on this, she's a lycan without a mate and you lost yours". "have you ever thought about what will happen if she happens to find her mate". "She's 26, young cubs find their mate between 18_20, you and I know miracle can't get her a mate now. So marry her and build security for your pack besides she's a beauty and a warrior". After talking to his son Seun gave him time to think about the alliance.

"I have no, but am not talking to the king at this moment but to my father who at this moment has wronged me". "all I do is for your own good Sophia, a woman's beauty fades with time, you need a mate". "It's not my fault the gods frowned at giving me a mate but that doesn't mean I will be getting married to just anybody". "You are my daughter, how can you marry just anyone.
