Free Web NovelChapter 94: Chapter 94 Alphas and Lunas
Abby’s POV
"You fucking bitch! That is my son. Set him free immediately." The old man screams in my face. He grabs my hair before Lawrence and Cedric yanks him away from me. Matt stands in front of me, and the other Alphas yell for him to stand down. Some Lunas jump in, just as an elderly woman runs forward to free her husband, or punch me. Whichever came first, I guess.
"Let him go! He has done nothing wrong. Tell them to let him go! NOW!" Her screams meddle with her mates. They are clearly frustrated, but I have yet to find out why.
"Will you both shut the hell up?" I yell over the crowd in my Luna Queen’s voice. They can do nothing but comply with my orders, and the quiet spreads like wildfire.
"Okay, first and foremost; who the heck are you two?" I put my hand on my hips again and stare them down. The woman has tears down her cheeks and refuses to meet my eyes, but her mate stares at me with a wild look in his eyes. Red spots of anger coat his cheeks, and his breathing is heavy.
I mind-link most of the crowd to go to lunch, so it is just me, Matt, Kaiden, Lawrence and Cedric back in the hallway with the couple.
"You can refuse to answer me, but my wolf will get the truth out of you." I warn, but they still won’t say anything. I am too hungry and miss my children to deal with this right now.
"Take them to the dungeon - isolation for the both of them. I’ll deal with this later." I order. Kaiden’s eyes glaze over and the guards from before arrive in a second. I hadn’t even noticed him coming back. Damn, this proves how exhausted I really am.
We walk to the dining hall, but my heart is not in it. I want to see my children, hold them and kiss them. Matt must have sensed where I was at, because a few minutes later the nannies come in with the twins, not even caring we were trying to hide them while this was going on.
I take Amber in my arms, as Maze sits with his dad. The room has gone quiet, but it doesn’t take long for congratulations to ring through the walls.
Maze and Amber are on their best behavior, and everyone falls in love with them. After half an hour, Morgan shows up with a grumpy Mira Rose.
"She woke just as your nannies came to get the twins, and I got some mother/daughter time, but this was as far as her patience went." She says with a laugh, as she sits down next to Matt and Maze. Gasps go around the table we are sitting at, and I only lift an eyebrow as a question.
One of the Lunas I’ve been speaking to at the table clear her throat.
"Ahem. Your highness, it is highly unpropitious for a simple gamma female, let alone a.. A. A witch, and if I’m not mistaken; a mother of a coven." She looks at Morgan uncertainly, but she nods in confirmation. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"To sit with you. She is beneath your time. Your beta should be allowed to join in on the conversation, but only when necessary. You should really only surround yourself with Alphas and Lunas. While not quite as dignified as you, we are closer in rank. AND she didn’t even greet you properly." I look at her to see if she is joking, but the woman is dead serious.
Morgan and I lock eyes before we both burst out laughing. The kids look at us like we are crazy, but this is just too much to handle for now. I shake my head at her, hold up a finger, and take a sip of water. Then I proceed to mind-link the nannies. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Would you guys take them for a while? I’m sorry the break wasn’t as long as I hoped for, but we need to make some things clear with our visitors." I ask the girls as they approach. Another round of gasps, more subtle this time, but it was there. I internally roll my eyes.
’They are in for a rude awakening.’ I mind-link Matt, as the nannies take the twins and Mira Rose to the play area in the adjacent room. I want them close by at all times. The threat to my children is not gone just because Freya had her title taken away.
’Yeah, well, most of them have been raised with old and forgotten rules about how Alphas and Lunas are practically royals. Didn’t you hear the "not quite as dignified?" before? She is insinuating they are almost in rank with us,’ Matt answers. I can picture how Blade is running back and forth in irritation in his mind, fuming and complaining.
’Don’t worry, my love. There are going to be changes, and they start now! Have the other guests arrived?’
’Yes, they are quartered in the old pack house.’ Matt’s eyes glaze over.
’And they are coming to the meeting room as we speak.’ I nod in appreciation.
After lunch, we all make our way to the meeting room, where our surprise is waiting. As the door opens, I hear an uproar from the Alphas.
"What are you doing here? You are supposed to be back home, protecting the pack?"
"I haven’t allowed you to travel outside the pack? This is going against your Alpha."
"This will have to be punished later. Just you wait."
I shake my head at the stupidity of these entitled beings.
"Okay, everyone, sit down and be quiet. The Queen will give soon an explanation, but for now, please sit with your beta and gamma." Brandon says from up front. On purpose, I have asked him and Morgan to be there instead of Kaiden and Laurel.
Laurel is keeping in contact with the warriors we have guarding the packs, and Kaiden is busy with the prisoners, who are not speaking. Narine joining in on the not speaking part, since she realized none were going to be helping her. I know what she is, but she doesn’t know I know. A small smirk plays on my lips at that thought.
"What are you thinking of, baby?" Matt asks, while kissing my temple.
"Narine and her stupidity." I answer in a low voice. Matt chuckles.
"You found out the answers to your questions, then?" He concludes. I smile up at him and peck his lips.
’Her mother had an affair with a male siren - a triton. Therefore, she always got people to follow her bidding because of a special power. Siren song.’ Matt’s mouth hangs open in utter shock and disgust. I laugh, kiss him again, and stand up when I hear Brandon calling me forth.
"Alphas, Lunas, betas and gammas. Welcome to this gathering of our packs! I am happy to welcome you all to our lands, and I hope these days will be productive and useful. First order of business is the pecking order of packs. I understand from an earlier encounter today that most packs look down on their beta and gammas. This will change in the future. We are all pack leaders with different areas of expertise. No Alpha or Luna is above their fellow ranked members. Is that understood?" I watch as one side of the crowd turns from confusion to disdain to utter anger and disbelief. The other side lights up, nods in approval, and cheers when I am done. They drew the lines up. Let the fight begin.
