Chapter 0248

“The Lycan King can have multiple girls.” That's Elder Mathew, a ginger-haired man that has been a quiet listener. We all look at him like he has lost his mind. “Let's not forget the fact that he has gotten Alina pregnant. He has to give her a place by his side. In his life. He can go ahead and marry Ashanti and make her his Luna. But he should also marry Alina and make her his second Luna.”

“My daughter deserves better than being a man's second choice!” Mr. William counters.

“But that man isn't just any man, he's the Lycan King.” Elder Nolan reminds him. “She should be lucky to be a choice of his in the first place.”

“Which she isn't!” I say out loud.

“Lycans should be put before werewolves. If he's taking the two of them as his wives, my daughter should be the first wife. the Luna “

“When they get married, Ashanti will bear him an heir as well.” Elder Mathew speaks again. “Whose heir do you think will be stronger. That born by the fated mate or that born by a Lycan warrior from a Royal household.”

“You all seem to be forgetting something.” Kyle's voice comes through. I look up at him but he doesn't spare me a glance. His eyes are glued to the elders who are busy talking against my ’mate.

“Ashanti is no ordinary werewolf. She's the first daughter of Alpha Anderson of the Mystic Diamond Pack. Do you know what that means?” The entire hall goes silent.

It's either the rest of them are very dump and clueless or the are just pretending not to know.

“Well, I'll tell you.” Kyle continues. “It means she's the Future Alpha of the Mystic Diamond Pack.

She has Alpha blood running through her veins. She's not weak. She's not pathetic. She's not dumb. On the contrary, she's strong and brave and resilient and smart! She's very much capable of ruling over you all sitting here as Luna. Get that into your heads!”

Goosebumps scatter down my spine as I watch him divulge that information to the elders who grow pale on their seats.

The look of unbelief on his father's face is a wonder to behold. He cannot believe his own son is against him.

Marrying Ashanti and Alina is equivalent to a death sentence for me. That can never happen!

“Emilia.” Mr. William calls his wife who looks like she's about to burst into tears. “Are you sure this boy is mine.” He looks back at Kyle with a deadly look on his face. “That idiot can never be a child I bore!”

Well… if not for the fact that Kyle is a spitting image of him, the rest of us would be doubting Kyle's patriarchy as well.

They are two different people.

“Alpha Reagan, you cannot leave my daughter hanging. You must do something!”

“Alina and I will make an arrangement, but let it be known to all of you that no marriage will take place between the two of us. Ashanti, my true mate will be the only Luna of this pack. Know that and know peace. That said, this meeting is over!” I push my seat behind and they all rise up and bow their heads to me as I get to my feet and leave the conference with my heart hammering in my chest.

Things have gotten out of hand.
