BETA ROBERT’S POV
I walked into the hall and saw alpha Jake at the far end discussing with some noblemen of our Pack. I waited for him to be through with them before I try to get his attention.
While at this, I moved around, making sure our guests are okay. The ceremony is going on fine, with almost every member of the Pack in attendance.
The hall is filled to the brim, the Packhouse is filled with guests and even the surrounding fields are littered with people.
Scarlet really planned for this to be great and I am happy that it turned out so. She put in her very best to achieve this but sadly, she is not even here to see her achievement. Someone else is taking the glory for the success, Violet.
Even the thought of her name caused my mouth to taste sour and I squeezed my face momentarily.
I looked up and saw that the alpha has moved away from the noblemen and I quickly made my way to him.
“Hey, Robert, I think you want to see me,” alpha Jake said the moment I arrived at his side.
“Yes, alpha” I responded.
“See, the party is the best,” he said with pride.
“Of course, alpha, the guests are all happy” I concurred.
“Hmm,” he signed. “I must commend Violet for this,” he said cheerfully.
“Talking about the party, alpha” I began and waited for his reaction.
“Yes, Robert, what about the party?” He inquired.
“The luna. She is nowhere around here” I tried to be careful with my words. I would not want to get on his bad side on a day like this.
“Of course, the poor thing” He sighed and continued. “She is sick and bedridden. Who wants her here anyway at such a memorable event?” he asked.
When I tried to respond, he went on. “See, I am doing this today for the members of Black Moon, my people. I want them to rejoice and merry with their alpha and I would not intentionally bring in anything to spoil it”
“Our luna is not anything, alpha” I murmured carefully.
“Yes, I would agree with you. But then what can one do? She is sick and frail. Violet has everything in control and I must commend her for this” he said.
“But considering the fact that she put in months of hard work into today, she should get some compliment” I replied.
“What does it matter, Robert?” he asked, leading me away from the hall. “She started it, and now Violet is doing a good job at it. Are the women not mine?”
“I thought you were not been serious about keeping the two?” I asked puzzled.
Alpha Jake appears as a stranger to me these days. It is as if I don’t know him at all. Yes, I agree that he was terrible before now, however, now he has gone completely cold and insane. What does he want to do with two women, or does he want to cut his lifespan short?
“I would have sent Scarlet off, but then Violet is something else and who says I can’t have them both?” he giggled.
We were already in the Packhouse by now.
“And how do you plan to control Violet? We both know she will never want to put up with the luna. She wants the title to herself” I asked.
“Leave that to me, my friend. Violet got no choice but to do as I say” he replied.
Sincerely, I was not pleased with his decision nor did I consider his choice applaudable but there was little I could do as regards the decision of the alpha. Nevertheless, I still have to talk about what brought me to him in the first place.
“One other thing, alpha” I requested.
“And what is it, Robert? Why not take it easy with yourself, man? Today is a day of merry and you should drink with the others and relax” he said.
“Actually it is about the luna,” I said.
“And what about the luna?” He flashed me a worried look, suddenly appearing serious.
“You need to see her, alpha, her health is weaning. She needs you at a time like this, your presence will give her the assurance she needs in life and she will heal fast” I said.
Hearing all that I have to say, he suddenly became relaxed. “Not today, Robert”
“But you must see her. Especially on a day like this when every other person is having merry. She must be made to feel like one of us again” I persuaded.
“When last did you see her, Robert?” he asked me.
I was taken aback by his question but nevertheless, I replied to it. “Yesterday, alpha, I saw her in the morning yesterday”
“See, she is fine. I saw her two days ago, and of a truth, she has a lot of people to attend to her” he responded.
“But then, she was looking lost. It was as though she had so much to say but just could not say them. She was hurt and the pains in her eyes just would not go away. I accept there was so much you should have known about her, but whose fault is it? She wasn’t even allowed a say in her marriage to you” I said.
He made a sinister smile. “Of course, she should be with alpha Ray if she had her way”
“But she did not even know you then” I explained.
“You lie, Robert, there is no one that does not know of the tyrant alpha Jake” he snapped.
“She loved you from the very day she stepped foot into this castle,” I said.
“I appreciate, Robert, today is for celebration and I would want to remain in good spirit. And never visit the luna unless I ask you to” He ordered.
“Y…yes, alpha,” I said with a slight bow.
At first, I thought he was insane, but now it is obvious that he has gone completely crazy.
“Hello, alpha,” Elise said as she approaches us, accompanied by Violet.
“Elise” alpha Jake exclaimed with a big smile.
“And you, Robert, see you are having a nice time,” she said.
I looked at the alpha then at Violet and then at her. I was furious and I expected the alpha to do something about it immediately.
“Is everything alright, Robert?” Violet asked.
“Elise” alpha Jake called.
“Yes, alpha” she replied.
“That is my beta, the beta of Black Moon Pack. Do address him accordingly from now on” alpha Jake ordered.
“I am sorry, alpha,” Elise said with a bow.
Violet shut me an evil look. She was furious and her eyes were almost red. However, she tried to comport herself before alpha Jake.
I do not care what Violet thinks the least, I am not afraid of her. She can go ahead in her oppression of everyone in the Packhouse and be a terror to them, but not for me.
Ever since she came back, all she had done was oppress every single one of the servants, treating them worse than slaves with the support of her evil friend, Elise, and they have been no one to challenge her or put her right.
I only feel bad for my friend, alpha Jake. There is no way to rescue him from the deadly venom of these evil women.
“I will leave now, alpha,” I said.
“I am with you, man” the alpha responded and we both walked out of the women.
