Alpha Arthur;
Elara gives her father one last hug like she isn’t going to see him again. Funny her. Someone who is now a full participant in her life. She stands up and then follows me out of the hospital.
We get into the car and I drive us back to the mansion.
Alpha Drakon is waiting for me in the courtroom and he says there is a surprise for me. A surprise that has to do with Leona. I pray it’s something positive.
Getting to the mansion, I hurry down to the courtroom, Elara follows behind me. I always love it when she follows behind me, it shows she will be a good Luna. A wife who will work hand in hand with her husband.
I enter the courtroom, instantly I whiff as my eyes meet Leona and her parents. Especially her parents. It’s been a while since I last saw them.
They are on their knees, their hands locked behind them with silver handcuffs. Alpha Drakon never delays in serving punishments to an offender.
“Welcome, Alpha Arthur. Here are the bastards,” Alpha Drakon roars as I walk closer to him. “I have interesting information for you. One that will blow your mind away,” he chuckles in a nasty way.
“Whatever Information you have, can wait, Alpha Drakon. I need to face my Mother’s killer,” my eyes narrow in anger, staring at Leona’s Mother.
“What about your Father’s killer?” Alpha Drakon asks and my head suddenly snaps back in his direction.
“What do you mean, Alpha Drakon?” Why the fuck is he getting my father involved in this?
“I just found out some interesting truth from my Lycan family.” Alpha Drakon points at Leona’s Father, “That man over there sold your father and Blade’s father to the Lycans. He betrayed the Alphas who trusted him because he wanted protection from the Lycan. He killed your father. Why the fuck do we have offenders everywhere?” Alpha Drakon bites the apple in his hand.
My body stands still in a position and I huff. At this point, there is too much truth being revealed that I find it hard to be shocked by whatever comes again. The only thing reacting to this information is my beating heart. It’s already beating in anger, causing my blood to boil.
So many bastards to get rid of.
“And oh yes, Alpha Arthur, when taking out your anger on these bastards, go a little easy on Leona.” Alpha Drakon swings his head from side to side, “At least, I’m trying to plead for easy punishment for her because of her pup. She has a little Lycan pup for one of the Lycans.”
Alpha Drakon’s information makes me push my head upward, laughing hard. I wasn’t the father of Leona’s pup. Is that it? I need to confirm from the horse’s mouth.
Strolling closer to the bastards, my feet stop in front of Leona. I lean, pulling my face closer to her, “Who is the father of your pup? I or the Lycan?”
“Why would my daughter have a pup for a mere Alpha when there is a powerful Lycan out there?” Her arrogant Father roars, interrupting me rudely. This is a major offense to an Alpha.
My brow slightly raises, giving Ralph who has been standing by the side a little order. And he pulls out his sword, cutting off the head of the bastard that just interrupted me.
Sending my focus back to Leona, “I need an answer. Who owns your pup?”
“I hate you, Arthur. I hate everything that has to do with you,” angry tears well up in her eyes. The hurt she is facing is evident.
Stretching my finger and lifting her chin, “I know, Leona. And trust me, the feeling is mutual. So who the fuck…?”
“Stay away from my daughter, you monster,” the one who doesn’t have the tiniest of rights to speak, spits on me. An arrogant wife. Just like her husband. How dare she spit on me after taking my Mother’s life? How dare this bastard?
My claws stretch forth, a low rumbling growl breaks out of my lips as I stab my claws into the chest of the arrogant woman. Twisting in as I feel her heart, my hand drags out, pulling her miserable heart from her chest. I dropped it on the floor, and trampled on it hard.
“This is for my Mother that you killed, bitch,” my lips twist in a smile as I watch her take her last breath.
Leona struggles to rise to her feet in rage. Ralph holds her, pinning her back in her position. The only thing she can do is cry. She can’t even shift to her wolf ’cause of the silver handcuff on her.
“Bastard!!! You are a bastard, Arthur. Goddess forbids I carry your child. I will never be stupid in my life to do it,” she lashes out the words I want to hear.
I scoff, nodding my head with a smile on my face as I watch her shed those tears. Interesting moments. Turning to glance at Ralph, “Send her off to the Goddess.” I’m done with Leona and there isn’t any need to keep her alive.
Ralph lifts his sword about to strike when a speed holds his hand hanging. “You don’t get to kill her. She is mine to deal with,” Blade utters.
Ralph sends his stares at me, and I nod my head, instructing him to let go. And he does.
“When did you get here, Blade?” I ask, taking a look at Bronson, and Ryder, who just walked in.
“Not long ago, Arthur. But I’m glad I arrived at the right time. Leona owns me. She killed my younger sister. I’ve been searching for Leona. Thank you for letting me meet her alive,” finally, Blade found out the truth about his sister’s death.
Scoff!! Interesting times.
“Good for you. But why are you here?” I don’t recall inviting him to my pack.
“To apologize to you, and set things right with Elara.”
“What do you mean?” I fix my bloody hands in my pockets, waiting for him to try a stupid move on Elara.
Bronson walks forward, bringing out a document and a pen from the briefcase he’s holding. He hands over the paper and pen to Blade, and Blade moves closer to Elara. “I’m happy you are in good health, mate. After all the wrongs you’ve faced in the world.” He gives her the pepper and pen, “This is our divorce paper. I’ve signed my part and I want you to sign yours. Before then, I want to do things the right way first.”
Blade strokes Elara’s hair. I just stand, watching him.
“Elara, I’m sorry if this will hurt our wolves, but it’s the right thing to do.” He pauses for a while before clearing his throat, “I, Alpha Blade of the BlackForest Pack, as for today, reject you, Elara, as my fated mate,” he pronounces, and I smile hard.
“Thank you, Alpha Blade. You are an amazing man. I, Elara, accept your rejection,” she signs the paper, and my fist jerks in excitement.
Blade strolls toward me, “Arthur. Thank you so much for still acting as a friend even if we fought like worst enemies. I’m glad the truth about everything is revealed. Please take care of Elara. She is a precious jewel. I fell in love with her but you’re the most capable for her. Don’t forget to always visit my pack, and call me whenever.”
Nodding my head in excitement, “Thank you too, Blade, for trusting Elara in my care. You can have the business we’ve been fighting over for years. You’re more capable of running it than I am.”
“Hmmn,” he kisses his teeth. “I’m glad you know the truth.”
“Fuck off, man,” we both laugh hard.
“Ryder,” Blade sends his gaze to his Gamma. “Drag Leona out. We are done here. Let’s go,” he orders and makes to walk away with his men when Elara rushes toward Bronson.
Holding his hand, “How is my best friend? Is she healthy now? When do I get to see her?”
“Soon, Elara. And she is healthy. Make sure to eat well, you look thin. I don’t want Malicia to see you this way,” he smiles at her, bowing his head and walking away.
Blade storms out as well and his men follow. Ryder drags Leona by the hair as he ambles behind Blade.
Alpha Drakon also leaves with his men.
I place my palms on Elara’s shoulders behind her as we both watch everyone leave.
“What next, Alpha Arthur?” She softly breathes.
“It’s time to enjoy our lives, baby,” my hands wrap around her, giving her a hug from behind.
