Avan’s POV
“Avan you are hurting me” Reese winced as I dragged her inside the pack house. When we walked in mom dad and Reese’s parents were already in the hall.
I threw her on the floor angrily.
“Reese” Salina screamed as she ran towards her daughter.
“Avan what are you doing? Is the game over so early?” Dad frowned.
“Over?” I laughed loudly “ask this woman who is the reason behind our early leave” I pointed towards Reese.
“What happened again?” Dad asked.
Reese was sobbing in Salina’s arm. Today her tears didn’t make me feel sympathy yet it made me feel disgusted.
“Reese what happened? You went to the event cheerfully yet why return in such a state?” Salina asked her daughter.
“Mom…. mom…” Reese sobbed again.
“What happened? Are you going to explain or not?” Dad asked impatiently.
“What will she say? ” I gritted my teeth in anger “I will tell you everything” this was the biggest humiliation of my pack that I could never tolerate. After the morning incident I couldn’t stay in the event but had to take Reese back in the pack.
“This woman had ruined all the reputation of our pack. No matter what I do from today onwards the other pack will view us as a joke” I said as I glared at Reese.
“What?” Dad was shocked.
“How could this happen?” Salina barked in “Reese is well mannered since she is a kid. How can she ruin the reputation of the pack? Alpha there must be some misunderstanding”
“Misunderstanding?” I laughed angrily “you still put it in that way? Ask your beloved daughter what she was doing sleeping on the ground outside the tent wearing almost nothing?”
Salina’s eyes widened “what?” She turned her head to look at her daughter “Reese what Alpha saying is true?”
“Mom, it was a mistake. I really didn’t know anything” Reese shook her head. I rolled my eyes at her. She is still playing an innocent role?
“Alpha, you know Reese for such a long time, there must be some misunderstanding. Besides Reese will never do such thing to ruin the reputation of the -”
“She already ruined it. The other pack were ridiculing us and enjoying the show that your beloved daughter put for everyone to see” I glared at Salina.
“Avan please believe me , I did not do anything. You have to trust me. I really don’t know what happened. After you left, I felt bored and wanted to go to my tent but suddenly everything became blurry and when I woke up it was already the next day” Reese sobbed.
I can clearly see that it’s a lie. Reese is a strong wolf and for her to give such an explanation is like she is putting herself in an ordinary girl position to look pitiful. Even though it was true that she never did anything that caused any harm in the pack, the past actions could not count in the present and there’s also no guarantee that she won’t do it in future. Taking her to the event was the biggest mistake I ever made. My goal to go to the event is already ruined but adding to her causing such a big drama I had to leave the event before it ends. After that incident I couldn’t find a good chance to talk to Savannah and it’s all because of this woman. Now the members of the other pack who witnessed the scene will take us as a joke. Such a humiliation is something I could never digest. I have been trying to contact and keep good friendships with other packs but after this matter will they take me seriously?
“We can’t change this matter. Since it’s already happened then there’s no way we could change it” dad’s voice rolled in breaking my trance. I suppressed my rage and snorted before turning my head to the other side. A feeling of disgust raised in my chest again.
“Salina, escort Reese in her room” Mom said after dad.
“Avan” Reese called out my name before Salina led her away forcefully.
“I am sorry Alpha, my daughter has caused a great deal this time” Farid looked guilty as he said once the other two women left the hall.
“Don’t let Reese out of the pack. Make sure she stays inside her room” Dad ordered strongly.
“Yes” then Farid walked away.
“Avan in the study right now,” Dad said as he walked towards the study. I sighed and followed him knowing what’s coming for me.
“How could this kind of thing happen?” Dad barked angrily as soon as I closed the study door.
“I don’t know dad” I shook my head.
“You don’t know, ” he slapped the table and glared at me. “You are the Alpha but you don’t know how a mere member of your own pack caused such havoc. Our pack is already losing the connection and adding to this matter it will weaken what we have right now. Do you want us to drop down from the 3rd position too?”
I sighed inwardly. I knew what he was fearing. After Savannah left the pack one after another problems happened now and then. A pack without any support is like a lonely rogue wandering around. If this goes on then there won’t be any chance for us to regain our position in the future.
“Have you talked with Savannah?” He asked again.
I shook my head “no, after that incident she stayed in her tent almost all of the time. She never participated in any game. And even if she out there will always be someone with her specially that man”
Dad sat down on the chair with a thud “do you know who’s that man?”
“No” because of other matters I didn’t have time to investigate that man. But my blood boils every time I see them together too intimately.
“Do you know dad?” I asked him. Didn’t he say he will investigate that man?
“He is the the Alpha” dad replied “Alpha of the Dark Forest Pack”
I sucked the cold air as I heard him. Alpha of the Dark Forest Pack? The first position holder on the tribe. It says that the Alpha of Dark Forest Pack never showed himself much let alone joining any small gaming event. But the main question is how come Savannah got to know him? And how come they become mates?
“How could that be possible?” I asked dad. “How come Savannah became his mate all of a sudden? How come a wolf has two mates at the same time when I am still alive?”
For a lifetime a wolf could only have one mate. But if for any reason the first mate died then maybe there will be a chance for a second mate. But my case is different. Even though she rejected the bond, she couldn’t possibly find another mate. How come these things happened?
“This is a mystery,” dad said, making me look at him. I didn’t say anything as he continued. “So many things happened in these two years that were beyond our imagination. And how she got paired with another mate is something we couldn’t understand. May be the someone can tell us”
I frowned “someone? who?”
“There’s someone called Beau, I heard he can understand this kind of mystery. So maybe he can help us to find out”
“Where does he live?” I asked.
“In Tiwan Forest. Once this events ends let’s make a trip in there”
I nodded. I couldn’t tolerate this. Savannah should not be with that man no matter what. She should be with me, here in my pack, living with me. No matter what, even if there’s someone I will snatch her away and bring her back where she belongs.
And this is my oath.
