“What are you talking about Gamma Rador?” the Head of the Council of Elders asked with creases on his forehead. “How come Trixie is Drew’s mate? Drew never ever mentioned about that.”
“Because Drew would not want to recognize that fact in his mind, even when he and Trixie had mated already. In Drew’s mind, he already inculcated that his mate and soon-to-be Luna is the Golden she-wolf,” Gamma Rador explained as he chuckled in annoyance.
The Members of the Council of Elders suddenly became all confused. How could they decide to let the Golden She-wolf be forced to marry their soon-to-be - Alpha if he has his real mate, who rightfully deserves the Luna title?
“Alpha Daedos, if that is the case, there is nothing to decide upon. Drew has a mate, who herself is a strong breed, a Gamma and not a mere omega,” the Head of the Council of Members suddenly stated. For him, everything is clear now. The Golden She-wolf is for Beta Lexus and Trixie, the daughter of the Gamma is for Drew.
“We agree, Alpha Daedos to our Head’s conclusion, especially that the Golden She-wolf already admitted that it is Lexus whom she loves. Aside from that, she has been marked and mated by Beta Lexus. There is nothing therefore to be argued upon. The thing speaks for itself,” one of the members of the council of elders, declared with firmness and the other members affirmed.
Alpha Daedos has no other recourse but to agree. Although he is the Alpha and can twist anyone’s decision in a matter of seconds, yet he is a fair, reasonable, and wise Alpha. He will decide based on fairness and truth. “I agree with all of you then. Even if my heart bleeds for the possible frustration that my son would feel, but you have known me for years, I will always decide based on fairness and truth. Allow me then to speak first with my son and then next week, we will have our general assembly to announce the matter to everyone,” he said in his Alpha’s tone. Deep inside he wanted to pity his son but he might be more pitiful if the She-wolf herself would reject him in front of everyone and then Trixie would hate him for wanting someone other than her, his true mate.
“We agree Alpha Daedos,” in unison everyone in the meeting said.
The meeting has been adjourned and when everyone has been out already, Gamma Rador returned to speak with their Alpha.
“Alpha Daedos, my apology if I divulged the truth to the Council of Elders,” Gamma Rador said apologetically but Alpha Daedos just nodded and then smiled at him.
“No need to apologize, Gamma Rador. Actually, I have to say thank you for telling the truth on my behalf. At least my son, will not think that his father betrayed him, because it was not me who divulged the truth to the Council of Elders.”
Gamma Rador was able to breathe with relief. “What are we going to do if Drew would still insist on a duel?”
Alpha Daedos shook his head. “I will not allow it, Gamma Rador. I know Lexus’ capacity when it comes to fighting and I would not allow my son to be embarrassed more.

Alpha Daedos summoned his son, Drew after a couple of minutes that Gamma Rador excused himself from him. He needs to tell Drew with the decision of the Council of Elder including the fact that they all know already that Trixie is his mate and not the Golden She-Wolf. Aside from that, Drew should know that Daffodil herself admitted that she loves Lexus and not him.
When he heard knocks on his door, Alpha Daedos already knew that it was his son, Drew. “Come in, Drew. It is not locked,’ he said softly.
Drew got inside with a questioning look. “Father, you summoned me?” it was more of a confirmation than a question. Drew seemed to be not relaxed at all. He learned the Gamma has been called upon by the Council of Elders during the meeting.
“Have a seat, son. I need to tell you something. I want you to promise me that you will accept whatever decision has been concluded during the special meeting with the Council of Elders and me,” Alpha Daedos said in a placid tone to start revealing to his son what he ought to know now.
“What it is, father?” Drew asked, restless.
“Drew, your mate is Trixie, right?”
“I am not considering it yet, father. I don’t think she will be a strong Luna for me.”
“However, you cannot deny her anymore. Gamma Rador, his father already informed the Council about that, even the fact that you and Trixie had mated already.”
Furrowing and in great anger upon hearing his father’s news, Drew almost curse in front of his Alpha Father. “Why did he do that, father?!”
“Drew, he is Trixie’s father, and aside from the fact that he is a wise Gamma, he is also a loving father to his daughter. He will not allow his daughter to be disregarded nor be rejected without any good reason at all. Besides, Gamma Rador knew very well that Lexus is the true mate of Daffodil,” still in his most calming voice, Alpha Daedos tried to let his son understand the situation.
“No, father. I am your next-in-line Alpha. I need the Golden She-wolf more than she will be needed by a mere Beta.”
“Drew, don’t you believe that as a werewolf with an Alpha’s blood, you are stronger than anybody else here and therefore you do not need the Golden She-wolf to become a strong Alpha? Having your true mate beside you, who is also a strong breed, since she has Gamma blood, will make you better and a stronger Alpha, my son. Why are you so afraid to become an Alpha without the Golden She-wolf as your Luna beside you?”
Drew became speechless. He cannot tell his father that his fear is for Lexus to be the strongest werewolf in their realm because if that happens, Lexus might be more appropriate to lead their pack than him. He might have an Alpha’s blood yet he is not too strong and powerful like Beta Lexus.
