Stephen’s POV
.
“All right, everyone! It seems like everyone is here now.”, Daniel said, looking at the crowd in front of us. “And I think everyone knows why an emergency meeting is held over here. Still, who has no idea about that, I would announce again. We are gathered here to bear witness to the trial of Aleena Williams, the younger sister of this pack. Yes, everyone! I would like to announce that I finally found my mate. Many of you have heard about it from one another, but not an official statement was released earlier. Meet, my mate, my Luna, and the Luna of this pack, Evangeline Williams, daughter of Alpha Francis Williams and late Luna Clara Williams.”
Everyone howled, cheered, and clapped on this news. Along with that, they asked about the Luna ceremony?
The news of future Alpha?
And many more things!
Daniel raised his hand to calm them down, “The luna ceremony will be held after 5-6 days. Not sure yet. I will inform you once it gets final, and after only you all can expect any good news.”, he paused before continuing, “Now coming back to the reason why are we especially here. Aleena Williams stands accused by Beta Stephen of trying to murder me by sending vampires last night. However, Beta Stephen doesn’t have any solid proof against her.”
Werewolves among the crowd started whispering to one another about it.
“That’s why we are here to know the whole truth from Aleena herself. So, Aleena, a bowl of holy water is in front of you, which has the power to burn any werewolf in case he or she lies. I would request to have it before we move further.”
Aleena agreed confidently and drank that holy water.
I could have used this method, but then, only the Alpha of the pack was allowed to use this way as long as he was alive.
“No, do you swear on the Moon Goddess anime that you will tell the whole truth during this trial?” Daniel asked, gaining her attention back to him.
“I do.”
“Great. All the questions will be asked by Beta Stephen now.”, Daniel said, giving me the authority to ask everything that was in my mind.
“Do you want to kill or harm Alpha Daniel?”
“No. I have never thought about that ever in my life.”
“Why did you sneak out of the pack last night?”
“To kill the vampires. Because that’s my work at night because I’m a vampire hunter.”
“Or did you try to wipe the proof that could have led it to you that it was your hand in planning and plotting against Alpha?”
“As I said before, I have never thought about harming Alpha Daniel ever in my life.”, She said confidently.
“Where was your whole night?”
“I was at Mount Eve because my wolf took me there. We had found our mate last night, but we found him fucking someone else; that’s why Leia stayed there, whining and sobbing at her fate, and when she felt good, she finally decided to return to the pack.”
Now, I was out of questions. I didn’t know what to ask further.
“Are you satisfied with her answers, Beta Stephen?” Daniel asked. I wanted to scream a big NO, but then I couldn’t make myself fool again by saying that I think, assume, and believe blah blah and blah.
“Yes, Alpha.”
“Because of you, Ms. Williams went through a lot of things, so you better redeem your mistake by apologizing to her!!”, He said, to which I nodded my head.
“I’m so…”
“Stop!” Powerpuff said, cutting me in between. “I don’t think you plain SORRY can make me forget about all the insult I went through.”, she added.
“What do you want, Ms. Williams?” Daniel asked in confusion, while deep down, I knew this witch would be thinking something evil.
“That Beta Stephen will apologize to me in the way I will ask him to. I’m going to make him taste the bitter flavor of his own medicine.”
“And what is that?” Daniel asked, narrowing his eyes.
“That Beta Stephen will apologize to me by kneeling in front of me and rubbing his nose on the ground.”
Soon, I heard the loud growl in the background, and after that, one after another, others roared and followed her. Well, what could I say? I was one of the most loved people in the pack.
“My brother won’t do anything like that,” Daniel growled and roared along with that other. “Making someone apologize for the mistake is one thing and insulting him, but making him apologize is another thing, and as long as I’m alive, he won’t do that.”
“I can’t insult him, but he is allowed to insult me, huh? He practically dragged me to the dungeon-like a prisoner at that time. No one thought about the humiliation and insult I felt because of him, huh? Either he will apologize to me in that way, or I’m returning to my pack with this insult along with Eva, and then you will have to deal with my father.” Aleena paused before speaking. “Then I doubt there will be any Luna ceremony in the next five to six days.”
“Sure. Go ahead. Take your bags and leave my pack right here and right now with your sister because there is no way my brother will apologize to you like that.”, Daniel growled.
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock when they heard this.
Everyone in the pack knew how Daniel used to wait for the day when he would get a chance to spend his life with his mate and how crazy he used to be about having his mate someday, and today, he was kind of rejecting his mate …. For me?
Nope! Not happening.
If he was ready to lose his mate for me, then I was prepared to keep my respect aside.
“As you wish. Eva! Come on! Reject the person you call your mate; he gives a damn to mate and mate bond. He is ready to lose you over his family.”
“I will apologize.”, I announced.
“No. You will not, Stephen.”, Daniel ordered, but it was not going to stop me from what I had already decided. I dropped my knee in front of her. However, she had maintained a poker expression on her face. I knew deep down that she would be dancing and doing backflips because of excitement.
I gulped down the saliva which had been formed and leaned toward the ground. I rubbed my nose on the floor, swallowing the insult I faced today. I wouldn’t wait for Karma to hit back, but I would be her Karma.
One day, she would be in the position I was in today, apologizing for her mistakes.
“I’m sorry, Ms. William.”, I apologized.
“It’s okay, Beta. I hope you would have learned your lesson.”, She said with a smile.
“The meeting is adjourned.”, Daniel growled before leaving from there, and one by one, others too joined him.
‘Beta Stephen, I found something.’ I heard Ryan’s mind linking me. I tried not to smirk when I heard that. Fly higher, powderpuff. Fly higher because soon you will fall to the ground.
