Chapter 24: The Dircurium family

Sosier Dircuriam

He goes to look up at her and is shocked to see he is already in his room. Slightly disappointed she didn’t travel with him. Walking out of his room, heading towards his father’s office he bumps into his older sister Pachiw. “ When did you get home? Last father said was you were in vampire lane, theres no way you got here that fast.” She scrutinizes her brother, eyes widening when she sees the pendant hanging from a chain . “Where did you get that” she growls at him. When she looks into her frothers eyes shes staring into that if his wolf. “Sodo, what have you done? Sosier may not know what this signifies, however I do, and so will the council, if you walk into fathers office with this around your neck.”          “ And what is it exactly that you know about this?” “ only that the witches and council have been looking for it since the death of Luna Neema.“  “Do you know what this pendant does dear sister?” “something about betwitching a wiere. Which is why im wondering why you are wearing it.” “Come with me sister, I will hide the pendant, but I will not remove it, you will see why soon, this stays between us.” Sosier continues walking down the hall, she notices every time he speaks to her, Sodo is the one in charge. Feeling a stronger alpha aura surrounding him she quietly follows behind him. “Where is mother.” He goes down the stairs and heads directly to his fathers conference room. “She went to the gardens after father caught her whispering about you being mated soon, and something about a betrayal and the downfall of wiere life we know today. He immediately called in high ranking followers who have dominate female daughters, setting up some kind of party for you to choose one as your mate for the end of holiday feast this year.” He thinks to command us. let us call challenge and be don’t with this, he has gone too far.   I try to calm Sodo down, breathing in the scents around me, I can make out about a dozen men inside the room with my father. The gaurds at the door bow low to me before I enter, they try to stop Pachiw from I half turn and let out a low rumble, they immediately drop their hand and allow her to pass, I see a brief shocked look and a smug smile as she passes them into fathers conference room. When the door closes my father looks up, shocked to see me standing here before him. “ the days where you dictate my future are done old man.” Easy sodo, he is still Alpha of Stone mountain pack and deserves respect.  I allow my aura to spread through the room, watching as all the men who came to speak with my father about a mating contract stand and bow to one knee, heads bowed. “Leave us” im barely containing my anger. Peace, he thinks he is doing the right thing.  “Sodo what is the meaning of this” I watch as my father stands and I allow the full extent of our alpha power watching him strain to overpower me. Enough sodo.  We release him and he begins to breath heavily. When he composes himself he looks at me proudly. “ You have finally come into your full alpha aura. You are nearly ready to take over, and just in time. Why are you in control Sodo, what has happened to Sosier?” we both share the body and respond in a duel voice. “Nothing, I am fully in control, Sodo wanted it known that he is no longer going to allow anyone else to dictate to us. and we say, we are ready now. We have come home to begin the transfer of the pack to us.” he is once again shocked. “ MY son, we must forst discuss your mating.” “no, there will be no mating ceremony before my ascension. It is not a requirement therefore I will  not be coerced into one.” He is silent for a moment, when he finally speaks Sodo is resigned to our fate. “ Very well, since you want to do this the hard way, Ive already sent out missives, you are to remain here for one week, you MUST meet with thw young females whoe have traveled for the baquet in honor of meeting you, else you shame this family. I will not require you to mate with any of them. However you are expected to meet with them and actively court them while they are here. If you do not, I will marry off your sister to the very persistent ….” “Fine, I will accept the terms. “ Watching is father smile mischaevouly, Sodo whines in unease. I think weve just been snared into a spiders web.
