Her Possessive Alpha

Chapter 80: EIGHTY

Alpha’s reluctance

He went to the supreme council… he left the packhouse without even telling her. She should be

mad at him for not telling her before he went but she what she felt in her heart was more of worry than

anger. Why had the council summoned him? For what reason? Did something bad happen? Ava could

do nothing but fear and hope that her love returns to her safely.

“Dear moon goddess, please keep my mate safe from harm, don’t let anything bad happen to

him…” she prayed in her heart as she returned to his chambers.

***MEETING AT THE COURT OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL***

ATTENDEES: Alpha Lucas De’ Clan, Gamma Filip Kirundi, the five members of the supreme

council.

***

“Welcome Alpha Lucas De’ Clan and Gamma Filip Kirundi to this meeting. We are entirely grateful

for the fact that you heeded to the call from our messenger on time even though such short notice was

given. We apologize for any inconveniences you may have encountered due our sudden disturbance.”

“Your apology is accepted,” Lucas replied to council member Konrad, the first member. “Although I

trust that it will not happen again.”

“Unfortunately, we cannot promise that, Alpha Lucas De’ Clan,” the second member, a she wolf,

Saoirse cut in. “A situation beyond our control may occur at any time to which we must tend to

immediately with the help of the respective leader involved, but if it is something that we will be able to

make room for a prior notice next time, we will make sure to do so, sadly the matter of which we have

summoned you here was not one of such.”

Lucas felt the need to get straight to the point. He didn’t like to keep his mate waiting. “Why have

you summoned the leadership of the dawn pack here?”

Saoirse continued.

“Two days ago, you and Alpha Ethan Cambini engaged in physical combat, and the outcome was

that you, Alpha Lucas killed Alpha Ethan Cambini. Is this information correct?”

“Yes, Ethan challenged the life of my mate, I killed him in self-defense. He attacked me even after I

spared his life.”

“The reason for which you killed him is irrelevant Alpha Lucas, we only summoned you here

because of the outcome of your actions against the late Alpha of the moonlight pack.”

“And what is it?”

“You, Alpha Lucas De’ Clan are by default supposed to take over the leadership of the moonlight

pack the minute you ended the life of its former leader.”

“And why is that? Shouldn’t there be someone else for that?”

“Unfortunately, no there is no one else, Alpha Lucas. The one you killed was the former Beta, and

before he died, he wasn’t able to appoint anyone to succeed after him, not a Beta, not a Gamma, and

from the information we were given, he died childless. So, the outcome is that there is no one standing

in the way of you dominating the moonlight territory, for now.”

“What do you mean for now?”

Council member Jakub the third then took over.

“That’s the reason we summoned you here Alpha Lucas, you need to take over the leadership of

the moonlight territory immediately. There is not much time until the rogues find out, the rogues do not

abide by the peace treaty, and when they find out that the moonlight pack remains leaderless; it

becomes theirs for the taking. We’ve all seen what happens when the rogues dominate over any

territory, the pack and its entire members will suffer greatly.”

Lucas sighed, he never even realized what he’d done when he did it, maybe he should have

spared the bastard’s life instead of killing him so quickly. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“The council summoned you here to sign over the leadership of the moonlight territory to you. It is

in our care for the time being, but we cannot hold onto it for long before the rogues become aware. The

pack needs a new leader Alpha Lucas.”

He closed his eyes, took another deep breath, and then gave his answer.

“I have to tender a very big apology to the supreme council, because I will not be accepting your

offer.”

**********

Saoirse began to raise her voice.

“You killed the Alpha of the moonlight territory Lucas De’ Clan. This is not an offer; it is your

responsibility now. You cannot refuse it!”

Lucas stared right back at her straight and unmoved. “I can and I will. I have seen what power and

greed can do, it kills, it corrupts and it destroys the mind of those who tamper with it, I will not be a

victim of it, and neither will any of my men. I have given my final answer, and the answer remains no.”

“So, if you do not want to take over your new responsibility, who will do it then?”

“The council is filled with bright members. I am sure you all can think of something, besides the

moonlight is a large territory and the alpha a very much feared and envied position, you will have

thousands of young capable fine he wolves at your disposal to choose from.”

Saoirse let out an empty laugh. “You of all people know that is not how it works Alpha Lucas.”

“Why not? Was I not once an omega too? Why can’t you choose the one who you deem most

capable amongst the lower ranks or instead, sign over the territory to another pack leader because like

I stated before, I am not interested. I did not kill the moonlight pack’s alpha because I wanted to claim

his territory, I killed him because he challenged the life of my mate, I am sorry to disappoint, but I will

not be dominating the moonlight pack’s leadership!”
