I should have been with the men throughout the meeting because I was a warrior Luna, but I did not want to be next to Leo or render any assistance anymore.
I wasn’t a fool. I planned on gradually stepping away from my duties to the pack. It was no use anymore.
I noticed the subtle exchange between Alpha Ramzey and my husband, and I did not need to guess why.
After the meeting, we headed to the car park, where Alpha Ramzey accosted us.
“Leaving so soon, Alpha Leo? We haven’t finished our discussion yet,” He said and looked at me with scorn.
“You can’t keep him, you know.” He said to me, and Leo tensed.
“Leave my wife out of this,” Leo warned him, and he laughed.
“But she is in the middle of it, Leo. You might be the most powerful Alpha in this region, but we deserve respect. You defiled my daughter at that party and did not take her home. It is wrong,” He said, and Leo growled at him.
“We made out. That was all. I did not sleep with her. I did not fuck her,” He said, and Ramzey punched him. Honestly, I was glad for that punch. Something I wanted to do last night.
“I do not care, Leo. You lost control and ripped her dress. Now that is all everyone is talking about. You will do the honourable thing and come and get her from my pack.” He demanded, and Leo refused.
“You think I wanted this for my Amanda? She went to medical school. I had plans for her. Being a mistress to an Alpha wasn’t it,” he said with a shakey voice. The man was hurting too.
“Luna Tamia is too valuable for you to reject her, and you will not want to lose some of your wolf strength by rejecting your chosen, so I know you will stick to her; I also know you won’t reject your fated for the same reason. Come and get her from my pack and claim her. The three of you can figure it out from there. Next time, I won’t ask nicely,” He said and walked away.
I could not speak because Ramzey had given me the most precise picture of the situation.
I walked numbly to the car and fought my tears.
POV of Tamia
I did not speak to Leo throughout the drive.
Every attempt he made to speak to me was shut down by my silence. When we arrived home, I went straight to the bedroom.
Our house had four bedrooms. We chose it so our children would have a room each to themselves, but that wouldn’t be the case now. I wonder which of the rooms I will be asked to move into when Amanda moves in.
Linda’s words remained on my mind, and just like hers, I knew my bed would be cold soon.
“Tamia, please,” Leo said, following me to the bedroom.
“Please, Tamia,” he pleaded, and I turned to look at him.
“Please, what? Everyone is talking about it, Leo. You humiliated me at the party. So what she is your fated. Did you have to leave my side, get into the balcony and make out with her? Do you know the meaning of self-control?” I asked him, and he bowed his head.
“The feeling was overwhelming,” he said, and I laughed.
“Better go to Whitewood and finish what you started, Leo. Do not wait for my approval because it will never come. I will never say it is okay so you can feel good. In fact, it isn’t okay! It hurts! It feels like a betrayal, and I can never get over it. So don’t waste your time hoping I will see the light because I won’t. I am the loser in this. Not you, not her, not the fucking pack members, just me. Me and Kaira.” I said, walking into the bathroom to shower.
I stood under it while the water ran, and I was frozen. I did not know what to do. Where will I go to? Just like Linda and Avery, I was trapped. I could not go anywhere without an invite because I was his luna. I could not dream of finding love. No one would want to try with me. I was stuck.
I sat under the water and wept.
I was trying to prepare my mind for the dark days ahead, but I couldn’t. My heart was too broken, and I was too afraid.
“We will have to try, Tamia,” Kaira, my wolf, said, resigning herself to our fate.
“What if she is mean and evil and wants him and everything to herself?” I asked my wolf.
“Then we will let her have it. We can’t fight this. She is higher than us, and she is his fated. We do not stand a chance. We just have to hope that she is nice and considerate, or a cold bed would be the least of our problems, Tamia,” my wolf said, and I wept. This was all too much.
One month passed, and I watched Leo fight the bond. He never went to get her from the Whitewood pack. Alpha Ramzey sent several envoys to no avail. I knew he was trying to prove something to me, and I appreciated him for it.
We made love a couple of times, but it was different. His heart and wolf weren’t in it, making it feel like pity fuck. I had never felt so low in my life until now.
He spent long hours in the office and reduced his time working from home.
I knew he wasn’t attracted to me as he used to be.
Alpha Ramzey had threatened war with us if he didn’t take his daughter, and word had spread that he was soliciting help from others. Because of this, we were summoned to the council meeting.
The meeting was where Alphas in our region met and decided on issues. Every Alpha had equal rights in the council, and the judgement was binding. Every council consisted of all the alphas in a region. Every Alpha in the council represented their pack.
I was nervous about the verdict, but I dressed to go anyway.
While we sat in the car’s back seat, Leo squeezed my hand gently.
“Don’t be worried, Tamia. You will always be my Luna. I promise you,” he said, and I nodded and smiled at him. I had somehow learned how to pretend I believed him. The truth was the only reason I was still with him was that I had nowhere to go.
A lot of issues were discussed at the council.
Alpha Sylvester Volkov of the Dark Wolf pack, and Lord of all werewolves was one issue that troubled people the most. He conquered an entire region and was heading for ours.
Some people argued that the Dark Alpha never attacked unless someone offended him. Still, most believed he was a bully, and we needed to prepare ourselves.
Being an Alpha from another region, I had never met him before, so I could not judge his character or decide whether the rumours about him were true or false. One certain thing was that the man was powerful, and he was feared.
After discussing how evil the Dark Alpha was and deciding what to do on the matter, Ramzey’s issue with Leo was tabled.
