“But let me make it very clear to you.” He looked from her to Hector. “I *** Hector. I despise him so much that if given a chance I will challenge him for my position right now. And I can never ever like a man who can’t even protect his woman. Look at you. He can never protect you. And…
“This is not the case, Victoria said in a shaky voice as she clutched Hector’s arm.
River took a step forward. “Did you forget how much he wanted to get back to me in the Veil?” At that, she heard a growl. It was Hunter. She placed a hand on Hunter’s ar casually stroked it. That seemed to calm him. She continued, “If that wasn’t enough, I know that hector wants me back even now despite the fact that I have rejected him and he has rejected me! And the reason why he ignored me as his mate was… you.”
At the word “reject there was an audible gasp from many. No one knew that River was Hector’s mate.
The fact that he rejected River because of Victoria was simply ***. How could an Alpha reject his mate?
Murmurs broke in the crowd. Victoria looked at all of them with a blush on her face.
Hector had to do something to contain this situation which was speedily going out of hands. “River,” he growled. “It is better you leave this pack as soon as possible and never return.” He grabbed the certificate from the table and slid it to her. “Take it and get out and go back to ***online interior designing course you want to do. Stop telling lies to create unrest in the pack. Is that clear?”
River chuckled. She took the certificate and tore it into several pieces. She flung it at him. “I will not take this fake certificate, Hector. You better write my real father’s name on it and then I will take it.”
Hector sneered. “You have no proof that Alpha Lowell was your father. He betrayed this pack of werewolves and so my father punished him. Betrayers don’t get to live. You should be happy that my father killed him and his family because if he hadn’t, then he would have been running with his tail between his legs as a rogue!”
River wanted to slap Hector, but she controlled herself. “The day I will bring the proof that Alpha Lowell was my father, that day I will challenge your father for the position of Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack.”
Fresh murmurs of surprise and shock broke all over again.
“She is going to challenge Alpha Maxim?”
“No one dares to do that unless one has Alpha genes!”
“Is she truly Alpha Lowell’s daughter?”
“That betrayer?”
River was furious. She turned to look at them. “My father never betrayed his pack. He only wanted to have peace with the Lycans to stop them from mindlessly killing the werewolves! You have been given wrong information!” Hector was shocked. The girl who was so meek and scared at all times, was now standing in front of him and talking about challenging his father who was the Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack? She had changed drastically. “Don’t listen to the lies of this girl! She is saying all this only because we offered her to be the breeder of the Lycan King,” he spat. Hunter was getting impatient.
“Enough!” he roared. Everyone out there became quiet as they started to tremble. He grasped River’s arm and said, “We will come back. This is not over. But right now, I want you to come back with me!”
****and anger warred in her and she felt like challenging Hector right now, but she controlled herself She was walking on eggshells and she had to be extremely cautious She looked at Hunter and realized that he was speaking the right thing
Besides, if she continued to claim that she was Alpha Lowell’s daughter, no one would believe hier.
Instead they would only rebel against her, What was important was that she sowed the seeds of doubt in the minds of people around her and this was going to become the hot topic of the Crescent Moon pack for a few days.
River was going to take advantage of the situation and so she had to move fast. “You are right, she said to Hunter. “This isn’t over!” She squeezed his hand and together they walked out of the office, parting the little crowd that had gathered over there.
Hector and Victoria watched her leaving and when the door closed behind her, Hector growled, “If any of you mentions a thing about this /*****conversation out of this room, you will invite my father’s ***!”
All students and teachers were stunned into silence. “We won’t,” said one of them, afraid that Alpha Maxim would **what happened inside the office today.
Hector shouldered his way out of the office with Victoria following him. His father had asked him to keep River and Hunter busy because he was going to call other Alphas, but from what just happened, he was sure that the two would leave soon He opened his mind link with his father and apprised him of the situation.
That wench!’ Alpha Maxim shouted through the mind link making Hector flinch The Alphas are about to corne and you couldn’t even contain this small situation?”
Father, the situation went out of control rapidly! A crowd gathered in the headmistress’s officer Hector tried to explain. “Don’t give me all that nonsense! Maxim growled. Just go after and stop her!
Hector let out a frustrated growl and rushed after River and Hunter,
“Hector?” Victoria called him. “What are you doing?”
“I am going after that **, Father has asked me to stop her.”
Victoria grabbed his arm. “Don’t be mad. How will you stop her? She has insulted you so much and you will stop her from leaving? What will other pack members say? Don’t you think about your reputation?”
Hector’s fists balled tightly. “Then what do I do, Victoria?” he said through his clenched teeth. “Father is going to be mad if I don’t stop her. I don’t know what his agenda is but it is ***! She just challenged the Alpha of the pack and his son and yet my father-“
Victoria placed her hands on his chest. In a very low voice she said, “Let her go and tell your father that Hunter didn’t want to stop. It is better that she goes back to the Veil. That way you will also have time to think of your next strategy. Also in a few days, this whole rumor would subside.”
Hector stared at Victoria and realized that she was making sense. He nodded as excitement surged.
“Okay!” he murmured. Victoria grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the school. They noticed that River and Hunter had already left. “Come with me!” she said. “We are going to my place.”
Hector sat with Victoria in the car and they drove to her home. Over there, Victoria made Hector stay for more than two hours and only when she received information that the Lycans had left, did she say,
“Now is the time.”
