Chasing the rejected Luna

07: Talk with my wolf

This was not something I could take. My beast was at the forefront of my mind now, fighting for control to end whoever had disrespected us. I gritted my teeth hard and fisted my hands. My claws were already out and they pierced my palm which made blood drop to the white tile floor.

"Let me in. How dare she? Such insolence. I won't tolerate it," My wolf Tylen growled and pushed forward.

"Stop. Just fucking stop. If you kill her, it will be the end of us."

"Are you scared of this weak girl? If the moon goddess wanted to punish me, she would have done so in another way and not given me a weak human counterpart," Tylen, my wolf growled, his strength becoming something I couldn't compete with.

"Stop spilling nonsense," I said and used the last of my strength to push my wolf to the back of my mind and create a mind wall. Tylen tried to pull it down. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't because he couldn't beat the laws of werewolves.

The mind walls created by werewolves against their wolves were very strong and could not be broken down except the human was in a delirious state.

My heart beat faster and my hands had a stinging sensation which meant I was healing already. Werewolves have a strong healing ability, unlike humans. I was angry at Dianne as my veins throbbed in my veins.

Looking up at her, I found her hurdled by the wall, her face as white as a sheet of paper. Served her right. Next time, she wouldn't dare threaten me again. That thought brought a wicked smile to my sinful lips. Not like I would admit it to my wolf, but my wolf had helped me overcome whatever was on the way.

"I'd…I'd be taking my leave now," Dianne mustered up courage and stood up. On shaky legs and ragged breath, she walked hastily to the door without looking back. That was the first time she had seen me lose control like that.

"Good. And don't ever step your foot in here. I don't want Sophia getting the wrong idea," I said and Dianne's step flattered on the floor. She stopped to say something but held herself back and left the room with a bang. Seems she still hasn't learned her lesson. Dianne was stubborn as a mule. One of the things that drew me to her.

I exhaled and sat down on my bed, running a hand through my hair. That was close.

"Don't do that again. She's the Beta's daughter for heaven's sake!" I exclaimed at Tylen. Tylen could only claw harder at the wall created but couldn't respond. He could hear me clearly but was not able to reply because of the wall.

I got up from the bed when my heart rate had returned to normal and walked to my office. The files on my desk were screaming for my attention. I better get them done unless I want to be what I had always despised - laziness.

"We should have taught her a lesson. A little scar to her pretty little face would have been perfect," Tylen said when I put down the mind wall.

I brought the glass of wine that was in my hand to my lips. It ran through my throat burning it along the way. It gave me a feeling I couldn't explain. Something that had always helped me when I needed it.

"No. That would have been worse. You know how well she takes pride in her body or face," I said and plumped down on my chair. The sight of so many files to handle was making me dizzy.

"Hmm, but I can't promise you I won't try it the next time. She should be put in her place," Tylen argued back.

"Yes, yes. I get you. Now, how do we get these done?" I asked, the headache coming to me at a snail's pace.

"Your headache. Not mine," Tylen said and settled to the back of Alexander's mind.

My jaw twitches violently from my wolf's nonchalant behavior. He had always been that way, leaving me to do things myself. The only time he comes out is when he senses disrespect and when Sophia is nearby.

"Get a Beta or something," my wolf said when he read my thoughts. Maybe he was feeling guilty but I couldn't tell. Tylen never felt guilty about anything. And the only time he had felt guilty was when he fought me over something when we were little.

"You know we can't just choose any Beta. Rudolph was supposed to take over from his father, now he's no more. And my father is thinking of putting Dianne."

"Then let Dianne be the new Beta. Don't be so worked up about it," Tylen said with something close to an eye roll. And I picked up the first file. It was about a neighboring pack requesting my attention to settle some rogue attack.

I breathed in and out in exhaustion. It was barely a day and they were already calling for my help.

"Let Dianne take over. The earlier the better. Although, I don't want you to be together with her. She's cunning and wicked. I've always known there's something about her. And she wants to threaten us with-"

"It's fine really. I won't complain about it again. But right now, I need some quiet," I quickly pushed Tylen to the back of my mind as I could feel his anger mixing with my emotions.

The last thing I wanted was to create some chaos in my office because of Dianne.

I didn't want Dianne to be the Beta. Not because I thought she was incapable but because it would be a perfect opportunity for her to get close to me again. And with my plans of claiming back Sophia, I was sure she would come in the way.

I wanted Orion. Orion was strong, intelligent, and smart. Plus he was a good warrior. He was the second-best warrior in the pack after me. And Dianne was the strongest female warrior in the pack.

The mindlink came through and I could feel Orion trying to get to me. I opened it and his strong voice came in.

"I've talked to her," he spoke.

"And what did she say?" I said and clutched the pen tightly in my hand. I was nervous for the first time in a long time. Why had I fucked up so much? I could not blame anyone but my senseless self.

"This is not something we can talk about through the link. Should we meet up now?" Orion asked and I could detect a hint of worry in his voice. Did something happen?

"Yes. We also need to talk about his you'd persuade the elders to make you the Beta,"

"But-"

"No buts. Meet me at our favorite place in fifteen minutes. I need to sort out some things," I said and cut off the mind link.

Twenty minutes into my work, I found out I had been keeping Orion waiting and hurried over on light foot. On getting there, I met Orion with a scowl on his face.

The place we were at was a place near the pack house. It was a tree that was planted by my mother when I was little. And since then, it has been my favorite spot

"You're late," Orion said in a displeased voice when I settled myself on a strong root. Orion was sitting next to me with a rock in his right hand. It was an old habit of his that he usually does.

"I'm sorry. I got carried away with so much work. That's why I need you to get the position of the Beta so you can assist me. I'm slowly losing my mind." I grumbled and picked up a stone just like Orion.

"It won't be easy. Dianne had so many people on her side already. And I'm sure your father wants her to be the Beta also," Orion said. He has been trying so much to hide the sadness in his voice but I caught on to it.

"Trust me, you would get it. I will make sure of it even if it's the last thing I do. I need you by my side. Dianne will cause a nuisance."

"She can't be that bad. She would do a great job of being the Beta," Orion reasoned but was stopped by a glare from me. I knew he felt like he was being heated alive from the glare.

"What? I didn't say anything out of point," Orion said when I refused to back down from the glare. He stood up and walked a little distance from me. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"I don't want her near me again."

"Did she do something wrong?" Orion asked when he saw how dark my face had gotten. The veins in my forehead were prominent. He sensed great anger radiating off me.

"I don't even want to talk about it. Let's talk about what Sophia told you," I was quick to change the subject. My wolf was making it difficult to have a normal conversation with Orion.

Orion avoided my gaze and scratched the back of his neck.

"Well?" I asked with a raise of my eyebrows and Orion breathed out, his white shirt rising with the action.

"She wouldn't tell," he said but I knew there was more to the story with the way Orion behaved. He refused to meet my eyes and began drawing circles on the ground.

"She was livid when she saw me. She knew you sent me. I wanted to let you know about it. You know you're the one supposed to be making an appearance. Not me," Orion said and swallowed when he noticed how dark my face had become.

"What exactly did she say?" I asked and fisted my hands. My breathing was labored. How dare she?!

"That's not important but I asked one of the maids and they said-"

"What did she say?!" I asked again using my Alpha voice. Orion began to sweat as he tried to fight off the strength of the Alpha command over him. But he was failing terribly at it as he fell on his knees from the force of the command. My face was twisted into something akin to that of an enraged husband who caught his wife cheating on him.

"She said-" Orion stopped when he noticed the command over him had stopped and looked up to find me looking in the direction of the pack house. Following my gaze, he found Sophia laughing like a little schoolgirl. And beside her was Alpha Ryven who was saying something to her.

"Shit!" I heard Orion mutter. I was walking furiously to the duo letting out a string of curses. This should be some very expensive joke.
