Chapter 61: Mate

Logan’s pov

What kind of power is this?

I looked around me and everyone including myself had our heads bowed down.

I looked at Charlotte and even she had her head bowed slightly which showed respect.

Charlotte is a witch, not just any witch but from what I sensed a really powerful one.

I looked into the whole aura thing and at times it took an entire coven to cleanse the aura of one person.

She did so alone and in a matter of a few days like its nothing.

Even a witch as powerful as her bowed her head, hell looking around some heads seems like they were about to touch the floor.

My father was this powerful?

All this time he had this kind of power and didn’t even show it off.

Hell, it now shows the kind of great leader he truly is, he didn’t want to rule with fear.

He could have used his aura to silence everyone but all this time he listened to their demands.

He let me and my brother have a say without exerting his will on us which he could easily do.

He could have demanded us to do whatever it is that he wanted but he gave us free reign.

All this time he had this power inside him, such great power that would make anyone whimper.

Hell, I could hear the whimpers of Mr Knight even now, his legs are shaking, and he can’t even stand still.

I looked at Justice and my brother’s eyes were wide, and his jaw was about to hit the floor.

This power if 5 times greater than that little display he showed in the office earlier.

Hell, father could take him and I on at the same time and only come out with a few stretches.

Even though he is large is size he moved so fast that it was hard for my eyes to keep up.

Even Mr Knight couldn’t keep us as well and torn to shreds.

Well not completely, he was badly bitten that he had to change back to his human form.

He curled up like child, on the ground completely naked.

Dean quickly went and covered his father with a blanket while mine went behind a tree and came back fully clothed.

“I think there has been a misunderstanding here. I am not weak, but I also don’t want to suppress my people with my power. I am perfectly capable of protecting you if the times comes” he said, and his eyes landed on me.

“Come here son” he said, and I went to him.

“Someone here has been conspiring against me, and if it weren’t for my son then I wouldn’t have known.

Someone here is using a witch to try and weaken me;

my power isn’t one that a mere witch could suppress” he said and looked at Charlotte.

She just smiled a little, father is making it seem like the portion just didn’t work.

Whoever was doing this to him will also doubt their portion and will also buy us time.

For now, we need to be on the look out for any werewolf that might suddenly leave the pack for their person errand.

More likely someone who is living in the pack mansion would be able to do something like this.

“Now back to this traitor,

You and I grew up together and I thought we were friends.

You were my beta ever before I even became King, why would you do such a thing?

Tell me now?

How dare you challenge your Alpha?” my father asked Mr Knight.

I looked at my father, he managed to clear any doubts people might have had about me.

 So, the enemy’s tactics to smear my name didn’t work at all and father also won this battle.

But the winner of the war isn’t decided yet.

No one said anything, hell who would talk is such a situation.

“Forgive Alpha, I got in way over my head. I also don’t even know why I did this” Mr Knight answered with his head bowed.

“I could kill you but for the sake of our friendship for decades I wont be able to do such a thing.

So instead, I will just give you a different punishment, from this point onwards you are no longer a member of this pack.

Nor will you be allowed to join any other pack;

you shall remain a rouge for the rest of your days” he said, and I heard Mr Knight suddenly scream in pain.

The bond between him and every werewolf in this pack is breaking.

Even his scent is changing into that of a rouge, everyone had these sad looks on their faces.

Even my father wasn’t enjoying doing this.

But considering the kind of thing he did it is what has to be done.

He could have killed my father; his actions could have led to war.

A country without a leader is hopeless, everyone looks at it and thinks that they can own it.

its leads to nothing but war, he was going to get hundreds of werewolves killed for his own personal vendetta.

He was like family but what he did really was unforgiveable, and everyone knew that.

I looked at Charlotte, she had this look in her eyes that I really didn’t like seeing on her face.

She was looking at Mr Knight, my eyes landed on Alexa who seemed just as worried about her as I was.

She suddenly turned around and started running, no one paid attention to her.

I followed behind her and found her having a hard time breathing.

“Are you okay?” I asked and she looked up still struggling to breath.

“You are now having a panic attack, try to match my breathing okay. Now breath in, hold it and then out” I said guiding her through it.

After some time, her breathing eased, and she smiled but it didn’t reach her eyes.

“Are you okay?” I asked her and she shrugged.

“Yes, it’s just that I was taken back but what happened” she answered and sat down on a rock.

“Back to where?” I asked her.

“the night the curse appeared. The scream, I screamed like that curled into a childlike that as I felt the curse forming on my back” she said and chuckled a bit.

“It was the most terrible night of my life. The night I lost my standing in my coven and my family” she said and the looked at the moon.

“Even on that night the moon looked just as lonely as tonight” she added, and I put my hand on top of hers.

“Things are different now, you have me now.

Everything will be okay;

we will get rid of this curse, and you can have a home and bonds again” I said, and she smiled.

“Thank you” she said, and I hugged her and held her in my arms.

We stayed like that for a long time, she then wiped away her tears and looked at me.

She smiled at then kissed me on the cheek, “Thank you mate” she said getting up.

I stood there frozen, what just happened?

Did she just call me mate?

Was everything that happened here real?
