Free Web NovelChapter 18: Chapter 18 keep My Mate Safe
The Third Person’s POV
Abby looks on in slight amusement and decides it is time they let the cat out of the bag. She looks at Jason, who nods in understanding. But before any of this can happen, Matt orders Maria dragged out again. The guards would hold her until Alpha Jason comes to retrieve her and take her to the human realm. When the door close, Jason speaks up.
"Dad. We know.. We know what you’ve done, and why I haven’t been able to be the Alpha I wanted for the pack. How could you?" Jason asks in a soft voice. There was no malice or anger, only sadness and disappointment.
"How could I not?" Leo spits back.
"You are weak, and I am disgusted with how you take after your pathetic mother.. She was no good as Luna, but she at least gave me an heir. If only I had beaten you into submission from a young age, but my lovesick puppy wolf and your mother wouldn’t let me." Leo sends his son an evil glare. It is clear as day that he does not love or have any affection towards any of them." Then she got pregnant with your brat sisters, and I had to play the happy daddy. At least Laurel found a wolf as her mate.." He thought of Maria.
"Both you girls were a mistake.. But your mother pleaded with me to get more children, and I let her have it. I didn’t want any of you. And Maria is a stupid bitch. Knowing full well not to be someone’s mate, and then not get a decent plan of getting him." Leo huffs and crosses his arms.
"Who else knows about your doings?" Jason asks angrily. He is not angry on his own behalf, but on his mother and Laurels. Maria had chosen her path, and there was no turning back for her. But Laurel was innocent, and didn’t deserve this.
"Wouldn’t you like to know?" Leo answers back with an ’I’m not telling shit’, attitude.
"Dad." Laurel whispers. "Why would you have children when you don’t want them? And why be with mom, when she could have found a second chance?" Kaiden growls at the thought of Laurel not being born. He would have missed out on the perfect mate. But he understood her question. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"She doesn’t deserve to be happy. She is a lousy half-breed." At these words, Abby jumps up.
"ENOUGH! If you will not give us answers, maybe your wolf will." Abby taps into her powers and brings forward Kennock.
"What is your name, wolf?" Abby and Galaxy asks together.
"My name is Kennock, Luna." The wolf answers politely.
"Kennock. We need answers, and your human counterpart is an asshole, and I will not deal with him." Abby huffs out, as Galaxy let her take the lead again. Kennock chuckles.
"Yeah, he is a handful. What would you like to know, Luna?"
"Who knows about Leo’s schemes?" Abby asks, annoyed that she had to waste her time when Leo could just come clean.
"Clearly Maria figured it out somehow, but who else?" Abby stands there, arms crossed. Matthew can feel his mates’ frustrations, and put his arms around her as he stands up with her.
"The beta and gamma both know. The rightful beta and gamma of the pack are Nathan and Jeremy. Their fathers were beta and gamma before, but their views of the realm did not correspond with Leo’s. He forced them to retire, to give space for the current beta and gamma. They are men he trusts, and can use to his advantage. They all think our realm will be much safer if werewolves rule all, and no species may mix. No matter the plans of our Goddesses." Kennock explains.
"Are there any pack members who know? Does the former Luna know?" Abby has to ask, and she hopes the answer will be in favor of Jason and Laurel’s mother. frёeωebɳovel.com
"No Luna. Neither my mate nor the pack are aware of the betrayal of their former Alpha." Kennock looks down in shame.
"Please keep my mate safe. I accepted her and everything about her when we first met. Leo didn’t. We disagreed on the matter, and have not been working as one for years." Kennock turns and looks at Jason and Laurel.
"My pups. I am so sorry for the way Leo has treated you. To no avail, I tried to talk sense into him. I am proud of the both of you." Kennock turns to Abby again. "And I sincerely apologies for the actions of my other daughter. She deserves her punishment and then some." Kennock bows his head at Abby, uttering "Luna." and Abby lets go of her magic. Matt helps her to sit down. He gives her a glass of water, which she accepts gratefully.
"Leo Danners, former Alpha of the White Moon pack, I banish you from our pack. You are to leave from here, and never return to the pack lands, and never get near your mate, my mother, the former Luna ever again. If I see you near her or the lands, I will kill you on sight." Jason spoke with authority, and looks his dad in the eyes. Leo feels the pack link and bond falter.
"You will regret this, boy." He says before turning to storm out. Before he can get that far, Abby stands again.
"Mr. Danners." She calls out. Leo looks at her, and Abby’s eyes shine. "I, Abigail, Queen of the Witches, True Luna of every wolf, call out to you Kennock of wolf kind. Show yourself and come forward, my child." Leo’s eyes shine, and then his aura changes.
"You will be in control at all times, putting your human counterpart in an internal sleep." Abby and Galaxy speak together, making their decision final.
Everyone feels the change in Leo. His features change slightly, they become more rough, and his eyes change colors. From their original color, they become the color of the midnight sky - a symbol of the permanent change shone upon him.
When the shift is done, Kennock gets down on one knee. "Luna!" He says clearly and bows his head.
Abby walks to the kneeling wolf and reaches her hand out. Kennock looks at the hand before he takes it and stands up.
Abby looks at Jason. "I think he should be allowed to stay in the pack and with his mate. He is no danger to anyone, and might help you with the ropes of being Alpha." Jason, who is in utter shock at what just happened, nods and rescinds his banishment. Kennock smiles at his son, proud of the man he is becoming.
"I promise, I will do nothing to bring danger to your or our pack." Kennock says.
