Chapter 0246
“Yes.” Alina's father replies, shifting on his chair. “We are here to talk about the fact that you got my daughter pregnant and you're doing nothing about it.” He says firmly.
I have always known Mr. Williams never liked me. He's a very cunning man and my father was always very weary of him when they were both Alpha and Delta. Before he died, he warned me about Mr. Williams and advised me to cut Kyle off the moment he showed any similar treats with his father, but that's something that has never happened.
Kyle is completely transparent. He's nothing like his father. It's hard to believe they are even related. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr. William. I'd like to know what you suggest I do about the issue.”
“You should let go of that girl you keep in your home as your girlfriend and marry my daughter who's carrying your child. The Future heir of this pack.”
He says firmly and I grit my teeth in anger.
This is all my fault.
He has the mind to say such an outrageous thing because he's unaware of the fact Ashanti is my true mate. If I had made the announcement the moment I saw her, none of this would be happening.
I clear my throat.
“I can't do that. I won't.”
“Are you trying to shy away from your responsibility!”
“Father, it's not proper to use that tone on the Alpha.” Kyle gently cautions him and all hell breaks lose. The old geezer bangs his fist on the conference table and shoots his son a scorching glare.
“Don't you dare try to tell me what's proper and what's not! This man got your sister pregnant. He has defied her and instead of you to fight for her honor and dignity, you stand behind him and defend him like some loyal dog!” He shouts at Kyle who takes a step forward, but I hold out my hand, silently ordering him to stay where he is. As expected, he obeys but I can feel the heat of the scorching glare his shooting at his father.
I let out a silent sigh and look at the agitating man that's seating a few seats away from me. There are a lot of things I want to tell him about his daughter, especially on the topic of honor and dignity. That she has none of those.
I want to tell him that I'm ready to bet my life on the fact that that child she's carrying is not mine, but let's not add more fuel to the already burning fire lest it consumes everyone in here.
“Mr. William, if you cannot show me or my Delta some respect, I'm afraid I'll have to call off this meeting and forbid it from ever being held again. So, if you want to be heard, I'd advice you cool down, lower your voice and talk to me and my officials with the respect we deserve. That is an order!” My voice is firm and filled with dark undertones.
“Calm down honey.” His wife who has gotten the warning tries to sooth him as she she calmly rubs his back. The grumpy man huffs and looks away from me, clearly dissatisfied with how I'm handling the issue, but that's his problem.
A few seconds go by and the tension in the room has still not dissipated, but the atmosphere is calmer and more conducive for a constructive conversation.
“There’s something you all need to know.” I say, looking at each and everyone's face. “I should have made this announcement the first day I found out, but I didn't, for personal reasons.”
“What is it we need to know?” Elder Malcom asks in a calm tone.
“Ashanti, the werewolf whom you all detest is my true mate. As in, the first day I saw her, my wolf went frantic with screaming the word “mate” in my head. I can perceive her pheromone and I can feel a true mate bond with her. She is my mate and that makes her, by default, the Luna of this pack.”
