We are on our second coffee when Damien and Penelope finally get out of their bedroom and Damien knows he is in deep shit as he looks at me. Ajax pushes Penelope on to the couch and Damien sits down next to her, before I have to tell him to sit down.
“Theseus..” Damien starts but I cut him off by raising my hand. “Damien, I doubt there is anything you can say that will justify what you did to Alpha Amarah and even if you think of something I doubt I want to hear it. Just to let you know, everyone is aware of how you rejected her.” I say.
Amarah
I see Alastor talking to Theseus and he accepts what looks like a business card from him. Alastor walks towards me as Theseus heads towards the Hotel and I wish I could be a fly on the wall in that suite, I would like to hear what kind of an excuse Damien will come up with.
Some of the Alphas come over to congratulate me on both my wins and they tell me that Damien was a fool when he rejected me. There are others that come over for the same reasons and I spend the next fifteen minutes or so talking to numerous people.
Alastor hands me Theseus’ business card with the request to call him, “He wants to talk to you and I have a feeling there is a lot he is unaware of. Maybe you should give him the chance to ask you questions and to tell you what he knows whether it is about his Father or his baby Brother.” Alastor says.
I let his words sink in as Dad wraps an arm around my shoulder and tells me how proud he is of me, “You put on one hell of a show, it wouldn’t surprise me if you will beat a few more Alphas.” He says as we pass three Alphas that also broke their alliance with us.
Eos and Rhea laugh out loud as Delia tries to hide her laughter by burying her face in Alastor’s chest, Mom just looks at the Alphas with a smirk on her face as she slightly bows her head at their Lunas. We head back up to our suite as I need a shower before we are going down again for dinner.
Everyone disappears into their bedrooms to get ready for dinner and I tell Ione about Theseus’ request as I get my outfit for tonight out of the closet, “I think Alastor might be right, I doubt his Father would have told him there is no more alliance or if he did why it was torn up.
Former Alpha Damon was an asshole according to my Father, he always made sure everyone knew how he felt about fated Mates and that males that chose their fated Mate over a chosen Mate were idiots. He really believed that a fated Mate would weaken a male instead of strengthening him.” Ione says.
I guess I should give him the benefit of the doubt, from what I have seen he is nothing like his Father and maybe we can discuss a new alliance between our Packs. Maybe we can even discuss their border patrols, because I still don’t understand how those work on their end.
Once I am out of the shower I get dressed, I put my hair in an updo with braids and I put on some mascara and a touch of eyeshadow. Mom and Delia are talking about Theseus’ request in the living room and both of them agree that I should give him a chance to learn the whole truth.
Theseus
Damien tries to explain to me why he rejected Amarah, but I quickly catch him on some lies as his story is slightly different from five years ago and I decide to let him dig his own grave. “Theseus, when I met her she was just a meek female, she barely spoke to me.
Unlike Penelope she was more concerned about how she looked to others, I saw her flirting with unmated males all night and I didn’t want to risk going through the pain of betrayal.” He says.
I look from him to Penelope, only to let my eyes drift back to him and I look him dead in the eye as I say, “Amarah doesn’t strike me as a female that is preoccupied with her looks, unlike another female I know. She has been training hard ever since the invitation arrived, unlike a certain male I know.
As to the subject of betrayal I think she would have been on the receiving end instead of you, just like the two of you cheat on one another.” I say and I see both of them pale. I never knew for sure if they cheated, but their facial expression says it all.
Instead of having to face them both every single day I come up with the best way to punish them both and to resolve an issue that is becoming a problem, “Damien, you better ask Penelope’s Father to accept you into his Pack as I no longer want either of you to be part of mine.
You can come to visit our parents, but only after you get my permission and if you ever decide to come visit without my permission you will be thrown into the dungeons for a week. Am I making myself clear?” I look at both of them and I sigh in relief as they both nod their heads.
“What about Joseph?” Penelope asks and I act as if I misunderstood her question, “Penelope, he is your Son. Of course he will be going with you and Damien.” I reply, but I know that that is not what she meant by her question and it doesn’t take long before Damien points out that Joseph is the heir to the Pack.
“Damien, I would much rather hand over the Pack to Alastor of White Crescent Pack than have you ruin it by controlling every decision Joseph makes. Hell, I might just hand it over to Amarah for that matter, at least one of them will be a better Alpha than Joseph.” I growl.
Neill and Josh had stepped out of the kitchen the moment Damien had said his first word to me and they had listened to the entire conversation, “Josh, I want you and Neill to take them to Penelope’s Father. Make sure you stay outside their gate and repeat what happened here today.
If he doesn’t accept them into his Pack you call me with the phone on speaker and I will banish them from my Pack, turning them Rogue. If he does accept them you head back home and have the Omegas pack their belongings, except anything that belongs to Dark Mountain Pack.
Once everything is packed arrange for a moving company to pick everything up and have it delivered to their new Pack.” My instructions are clear and I know Josh and Neill will follow them to the letter. Apollo had left the room to pack their bags and as he drops them in front of Damien and Penelope it seems he finally understands.
