AFTER THE CONSULTATION

"All my life I have been cheated on, first my brother was made Alpha king of the pack and then the so-called goddess isn't giving me idiots as a mate... Arrghhh" I said to myself, resting my head on the table, I dozed off.

With the sound of the alarm and the reflection of the sun directly in my eye, I stretched and yawned while I turned off the alarm.

Quickly, I had a shower and washed my mouth; I had business to settle urgently.

"Walker, did you notice anything again?" I asked one of the dungeon keepers as I strode through the hallway.

"She has been fierce since she regained consciousness..."

"That's odd, she regained consciousness already?" I asked again.

"Yes Alpha, she has been hitting on the bars fiercely the past few days and asking about her mother" Walker responded as we walked up to where she was.

This time she was lying down, but immediately after we got there she lifted her head.

"Gavner where is my mother?" Lenora asked I could see the anger in her eyes.

They were swollen like she cried all night.

Something was odd about this wolf, she has always been a nerd but today she is disrespecting me.

"Lenora Silverberg, you should be begging no.... licking my feet for your safety but here you are asking about your mother who died like a chicken.." she cut me off.

"Noo, don't you ever call my mother that, I have to find out by myself," Lenora said and I laughed out hard alongside Walker who turned his face over to the other side.

"Little fierce lady, save your strength because you will need it to serve your new masters," I said immediately as I turned away from her.

"No, you can not do this to me... you can not reject me and sell me off" she pleaded.

"You know, I am forgiving the fact that you were running away with your mother, so you've got to shut your mouth"

"Take her!! they would be here soon" I said walking away.

"Yes," Walker said as she opened the bars, helping her out.

Walking into the hall, omegas, betas, warriors, and guards had already gathered, it was something that always happens whenever I reject a mate.

"Is she the one?" One of the bidders asked as he pointed at Lenora who was staggering as she walked in.

All heads turned toward her direction as murmurings could be heard.

"Yes, she is," I responded, crossing my hands behind my back and entwining my fingers.

"She looks pretty and would serve a great purpose," another bidder said.

"Sure, Gavner always serves us to our taste..., she is worth the amount" 

"When are we taking her?" The first bidder said as he stood up and walked up to Lenora, taking a good glare at her.

"You can take her once the payment is made" I responded as I turned around to face the people.

Clearing my throat, "is anyone against my choice of selling her off?" I asked even when I know that no one was going to say anything unless they were ready to join her.

I looked around the hall, they were all murmuring to themselves quietly.

"Then that settles it," I concluded.

ALPHA HORACE POV

"Absolutely wrong... Nora isn't leaving this room" I said with so much strength in me.

As I walked in, heads turn to stare at me. Quickly they all bowed to show their respect.

The first person my eyes searched for was Nora, she was the reason I brought myself to my insensitive brother's gathering.

Upon hearing my voice, she raised her head and stared at me, she was been supported by Walker, and her eyes were red and dull... the look in her eyes when she saw me staring at her, she must have cried a lot.

Walking up the podium, my eyes didn't leave her face for once.

"Alpha Horace..." I heard her whisper my name with the little strength left in her, a call for help.

"Why are you disrupting my gathering?" Gavner asked me as he glared.

"Since everyone is here, I will like to say something very important" I responded as I adjusted my wristwatch.

" Horace, your announcement has nothing to do with me or this gathering," Gavner said fiercely as she moved so close to me, glaring into my eyes.

"It's Alpha Horace, I am your king... Alpha king of Midnight Prowlers" I corrected.

Turning to the crowd, "I was supposed to call for a gathering but since my brother called for one, I would be making use of the opportunity" I made myself clear.

"Lenora Silverberg, one of our own was given as a mate four nights ago to... Gavner, my brother" I stated as I stared at the bidders who were confused and Gavner asking them to have patience.

"...., She was rejected; she turned out to be the third mate Gavner is rejecting, I convinced my brother to claim her back of which I am surprised by this sight" I added as I pointed towards Gavner and the bidders.

"I have tried to put them in place but Gavner stated that he was in no way interested in her. Gavner.." I called staring at him "Your decision to reject Nora took me off guard and of course, it saddens me"

I saw Nora put her head up, only her mother calls her by the name Nora.

"Even though we are all aware that her position has been eliminated. She has been kicked out by the pack and lost her mother in a ghastly car accident...," She puts her head down as tears rolled down her cheeks, it hurt my heart.

It didn't seem like she cared about what people were saying about her.

"With my position, I've had to consult some elders amongst us and the legends on how I can help this current situation due to this... circumstance." After a brief pause, I turned to look at her.

"In line with the scrolls—" I took out a worn-out scroll that had obviously seen better days. 

Everyone was aware of the legends. Anyone who wanted to consult them might do so.
