Dimitri’s POV
I sat in my office,
Preparing the plan for the soldiers to send to Twilight Fang Pack to support them as agreed in the Alliance.
And I remembered the weak Half Breed Omega they had given me in place of my Alliance.
I grunt from within me,
I had vowed not to take on any mate after the death of my Mate Amelia
She had died to a strange illness that we couldn’t detect.
A day I would never forget in my life.
Amelia and I had been friends before we found out we were fated mate.
Her death had broken my Wolf, Drey
And he gets to rage and act gruesomely
He had made the fellow Lycans and wolf named me the Cursed Lycan
A name I don’t care to clear anytime soon.
I had gotten myself involved with Sarah only to satisfy my urges.
This doesn’t seem to sit well with Drey but I don’t care.
I had warn him not to get involve in my business, and promise not to get involve in his business whenever he is all out hunting.
Even though I put a hold of him sometimes.
He had been acting calm and cool since the Mating Ceremony yesterday after seeing the Omega.
And he had stayed calm yesterday night when he had sniff in her scent.
Hope it’s not what I am thinking.
I had been mind-linking him since morning, but he had kept mute.
He had been mad at me with the way I had spoken to the Half-Breed wolf after she walked in on me at my private space, this morning.
Kate, her name is Kate, he snapped.
Oh there you are, I responded.
Why are you mad at me.
And what is your deal with that weak Omega
Are you so daft to realize she is our new Mate.
Wow, what with the insult.
I don’t want to see you with that slut from today onward, he snapped again ignoring my question.
But Amelia is our only Mate, Drey.
Amelia is gone now Dimitri, it’s time to let go, he responded.
The Moon Goddess has finally given us a second chance Mate,
And we are going to accept her, he added.
I was jolted out of my deep thought, with a knock on my door.
It’s Louis, my Beta.
We had grown up together in this very own pack.
He has been my only friend and Advisor even before I became the Alpha King.
He has been the one that has been watching my Back.
And clean up the messes I create, whenever Drey goes out of control since after Amelia’s Death.
We are so sync, that I can sense him even without him in sight.
He opened the door and entered, since he got no response from me.
He came in and sat down in front of me,
Are you okay, he asked.
Yes I am, I responded.
So are you done with the Army selection, he asked.
I’m on it, I responded.
Okay, he said.
You have to let go Dimitri, he said.
What are you talking about, I retorted even though I know exactly what he is talking about.
You know you can’t hide from me,
I know when you’re not okay and when you are.
I have been watching you since the Mating Ceremony yesterday.
I had sensed how your wolf felt immediately you sight Kate yesterday, He added
She is your second chance Mate and you have to accept her, if you don’t want Drey to become more crazier.
It been 3 years now, and you have let her go,
Amelia would also want you to accept her.
Louis concluded.
But she is weak, I don’t think she is fit to be my Luna.
If not for the pressure from the Pack Elders on me to get a new Luna
I won’t have agreed to the deal.
I am too strong to have a weak Luna.
But we couldn’t get any better option, all other packs won’t give their daughters hand in marriage to you due to your reputation, Louis said with sarcasm.
And besides, she is not weak.
I could sense her wolf growing stronger and also she had ask me to provide for her a private training space, Louis said.
Really, what is she training for, I asked.
Is there more we don’t know about her, I added.
I don’t know, I guess you should find out yourself, Louis responded
As we’re discussing this,
The door to office open suddenly.
I and Louis became alerted immediately, before Sarah barged in.
Louis got angry but remain calm.
How dare you, barge into my office like that.
Drey wants to jump out and grab her life out of her,
As he pace up and down in my head.
I have warned you not to ever come into my office,
And not to ever show your face in front of me, if I had not requested for you.
But I need to speak with, she responded.
I want you to help me warn,
That weak Half Breed Omega, who thinks she can be your Luna to respect me,
She was rude to me earlier.
I sprang up, holding her against the wall.
It is you that needs to know your place,
And don’t you ever refer to my Luna as weak again.
This time around, Drey has sprang into action, as I couldn’t keep him in any longer.
I released my fist around her neck and she dropped to the floor.
Louis didn’t bother to stop me,
He had been wanting me to do that.
Since Sarah now feels he is above everyone in the Pack.
He and Drey has been the one stopping me from making her my Luna
She has always carries herself as the Luna, and has forgotten her place.
I turned back and returned to my sit
I’m sure you wouldn’t have done that,
if Drey didn’t sprang into action, Louis said as I am about to sit
Sarah was still sitting on the floor coughing, trying to catch her breathe.
When Louis lashed out at her suddenly.
Get out of here now, don’t you ever step a foot into this office when you’re not called on,
And don’t you ever move an inch close to the Luna nor disrespect her,
If you don’t want me have thrown into the dungeon.
He concluded.
There he is My best friend, I thought to myself and smiled.
Sarah stood up and rushed out of my office, then banged the door behind her.
Louis groan in anger.
I’m sorry, I should have cautioned her along time ago.
I let her actions slide because she is the only I could call to satisfy my urges.
Everything will change from now on, I pleaded to Louis who is now pissed off.
I’ve heard you,
and make sure it does change, he responded.
Let’s get to work, I said.
These are the few selections I have made.
We also need men to guard the pack.
I showed the list I had compiled to Louis.
Louis collected it and glanced through it.
I need more information about this fight.
I can’t have my men sent to a lost battle, I said.
Okay, I guess Kate should be able to help us with some information, Louis responded.
We spent the remaining hours of the day working in silence.
***
It evening already, Louis had left about an hour ago.
He had said he want to check on the maids he had instructed to clean one of the empty cabin just behind the pack house
It would be the private training space Kate had asked for.
I had given Louis the right to make some decisions in the pack without consulting me.
And he has been doing it just fine.
His father has also been the Beta to my father,
They were both sync that you would think they were twin brothers.
I and Louis are also like that,
Even though we have our differences sometimes,
We don’t find it hard to apologize to ourselves.
This has made our friendship grown stronger.
I stood up from my chair and went straight to my room.
As I was about to lie down, Drey wouldn’t let me rest.
Let’s go see our Mate,
You need to apologize to her.
But I had been ignoring him.
You know you won’t be able to stop me now, if I sprang into action.
He pressed further, but I ignored.
Suddenly he sprang into action, then I found myself on the way to her room.
I tried to control him.
You know the rules, you are not to meddle in my business.
But you didn’t meddle in my business today, I said.
No, that was our business, he responded.
She was disrespecting our Mate.
Immediately we got to Kate’s door,
I flinged the door open.
Kate jumped up from her sleep,
I moved closer to her bed now in my wolf form,
I glanced down at her as, she stood still.
She looks frightened but then she composed herself.
She starred directly into my eyes without blinking.
I leaned into, and sniff in her scent.
Her Werewolf scent is now becoming more visible just like Louis had said.
I sensed her wolf growing as well.
She smells a lot similar to Amelia’s scent.
Drey is becoming calmer as I continued sniffing her hairs.
I sensed Louis and I turned back, he was standing at the door way with some clothes in his hand.
I left for my room immediately.
Are you okay, I heard him ask Kate.
I will have this fixed tomorrow, he added.
I get to the entrance of my room, and transform back to my human form.
Louis also head back down the stairs.
He knows I wouldn’t want to entertain any questions.
I locked the door behind me.
And mind-linked Drey, Are you satisfied now
We could have avoided that, if you had answered me earlier, he responded.
Really, But you need to give me time, I said.
You don’t have all the time in the world, he responded.
We would be visiting our Mate once in awhile, her scent keeps me calm.
And I know you like me calm, he added.
Okay then, I responded.
