“Impossible!” Mr. Williams cries out. “The Lycan King mated to an ordinary werewolf? That's preposterous!”
“It's the truth!”
“I don't believe you!”
“And I do not need your validation on the issue. Ashanti is my mate. I will marry her. She will become your Luna. You will show her respect! And the next time you use that tone with me you'll be spending the rest of your life in a dungeon cell!” The old man shrinks on his spot like balls during cold weather.
“Mr. William, please stay calm and let us take it from here.” Elder John cautions him and he grudgingly nods his head. If looks could kill, I'd be six feet by now!
“My Lord.” Elder Nolan who's sitting three seats away from me on my left hand calls in a gentle voice. “I'm curious to know why you didn't make this announcement the moment you found out.”
“Like I said, I didn't do that for personal reasons I'm not going to share.” I say firmly and a few of them nod their heads in understanding despite the dissatisfied look on their faces.
“If the werewolf girl is his fated mate, then there's really nothing we can do about that. He has to marry her. She was chosen by the Moon goddess and we cannot say or do otherwise.” The elder sitting right next to Elder Nolan, Elder Jorah, adds and I nearly smile at him. It seems I have two elders on my side.
“Exactly.”
Now three.
Elder Malcom, Elder John and three others are shaking their heads in discontent.
“It is unheard of for an Alpha to lie about his mate status with a girl. If Alpha Reagan says he's mated to the werewolf girl, it's true. In addition, we all cannot deny the fact that those two have great chemistry between them and have been pulled toward each other since the first day she arrived at the Harem.” Elder Nolan chips in and I swear if he keeps doing that, I'm going to smile, which is the last thing I want to do right now.
The rest of the elders, including the ones against me, nod their heads.
“However, we cannot deny the fact that Alina will be a better Luna than Ashanti.” That's Elder Malcom. I'm not even surprised.
“If that was the case, the Moon goddess would have chosen Alina to be Alpha Reagan's second chance mate, but that's not the case!” Elder Jorah steps in my defence and I shoot him an amazed glance. He doesn't seem to be finished. “Ashanti might be an ordinary werewolf, but the Moon goddess chose her for a reason. If she's being tasked with the duty of being Luna of this pack, it means she is capable of handling that task. The Moon goddess wasn't blind when she paired them!”
“And also…” Ronald's voice comes through. “I have trained with Ashanti a few times and so has Delta Kyle and Alpha Reagan. She is an excellent fighter and her good qualities do not end at the level of fighting skills. She's kind and compassionate. She's a very likeable person and she’s extremely smart. This pack is lucky to have a Luna like her.” Ronald divulges unapologetically and Mr. Williams nearly combusts on his seat.
