Compulsive

"Why should I? It wasn't compulsory that I should dislike what he dislikes. Humanity never crosses any lane when it comes to me. So I don't have anything against them. You know Ryan is very complicated"Mia said pretentiously.

"I am happy you didn't feel the same way; your mom told me about his refusal to join the family business. And currently he's jobless." Alpha Nathan said, a little bit harsh but talking from fact.

"You are right, he never wanted to be a businessman from his early years; he wanted to enroll in militant, hurting enemy's. That's how the fight between him and dad started. I thought he would one day come back to apologize. But we were wrong; even in his dying state, he swears not to have anything to do with his business, as he has only picked on him. It was a bad experience between father and son" she explained, her voice scathing.

"Do you forget? I Know all this; that boy was very stubborn, and I only want him to do his own thing. He's lucky to have a mother like her. What more could he need if not for a good mother? Well! I have a plan, but I don't know if he would be interested. Maybe you can talk to him about it," Alpha Nathan said, and she wondered what he had in mind.

"I want to hear it' he replied, and Alpha Nathan dropped the file and rested his back on the couch. And took a tip from the wine in front of him.

"I don't know if he will like to be a leader for my soldiers since he has abilities and some genuine love for wars. But at the same time, he will listen to instructions given by me and my beta; if he thinks he can abide, he should fall in, and if he can't, he shouldn't. At least it's better than sitting home all day long. He could get a protector for our pack," Alpha Nathan explained, and she was so excited for him.

"Thank you so much, my Lord, I will always adorn you"

Blood Moon Pack

Alpha Marcus was in his inner room when a messager came to him.

",I was able to sneak into the palace; your doubts are correct. Mia didn't like Emma's one bit, and I guess she had plans" the person said that, but his face couldn't be seeing .

", You have to get back there without getting noticed as usual; don't come back to give me any news until you find out about her ulterior motive and how we could use it to our advantage. Go back now, and you mustn't get noticed." He turned to look at the person

"Alright, your Majesty," The person said, and bow slightly before leaving. A few minutes later, Beta Bryan came was inside.

"Beta Bryan, what news have you brought, because I only know you to bring me bad news that wouldn't help me, so why should I listen to what massages you've brought? he said harshly.

"Alpha Marcus, I am here to advise that you should stop this war you are starting, Because it won't be nice for you in the end. Alpha Nathan's pack has gotten another soldiers, and they are very strong and fearless. So I think it's high time you back off. In my research, they have 9000 would-be soldiers while we have just 3000, which means they have triple the number of soldiers we've got. With all this, I am sure we can't win this war. We shouldn't end up like the Green Moon Pack; they were stubborn and never took advice, but at the end of the day, they lost to Alpha Seen, Nathan's father. It's good if we turn around now that we still have the opportunity to do that," Beta Bryan advised, and he chuckled dryly.

"If you don't want to get involved in this war, you can leave, but me, Marcus, will not give up. Watch and see how I will build a squad of soldiers without any problem, so I will advise if you will leave." he thundered, his heart boiling in rage.

"I am not running away; even if you had refused to listen to my advice, my loyalty to you is all that matters. I wouldn't want you dead Because I am your beta and should always protect you. But if you don't want to regret losing the whole pack, I think you should restrategize and build a war between the battlefield and the pack, so if they won't be able to get into the pack even though we lost, at least this would keep people safe. Don't think I am doing this because I supported you; I am doing this because I am the Beta of this pack and their wellbeing is my priority, even though you are less concerned. Vet me the right to start building the barrier now," He said, looking straight into his eyes. Alpha Marcus chuckled wryly, his eyes brimming with anger, but he couldn't do anything because he was Beta.

"Since you don't trust my judgment,I doubt how we can work together to win this great war. Because this isn't just a war; it's a fight for Justice. We deserve the highest position in all the packs" He said this and walked closer to him with an intimidating aura.

"You should know you are making the biggest mistake; all the kings that ruled in that pack are very sensible and smart; they are fearless and have never lost in war. I will advise you to think twice about the barrier if you refuse to help us with it, thinking you can protect everyone. I am sorry I will be going on with my plan, Because I also have some loyalty toward this pack, and I wouldn't just neglect them like nothing is about to happen when we have your disastrous war coming our way," He said with a tone of finality and went out of his inner room. She met Luna, she came in and heard his last statement clearly and audibly. And wonder what happened earlier. She tried to stop Beta Khan, but he didn't wait to hear what she had to say, then She went to meet her Alpha.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry, but I demanded to know what happened between you and her Beta He looked so angry," Luna Elena asked, her voice meek.

.

"When we learn to mind your damn business, I told you that whatever happened in this palace Shouldn't be your business. Don't you get it?" He thundered and smashed the glass cup in his hand on the wall, causing it to break into pieces. She fidgeted backward in fright.

"Your majesty, with all due respect, I am not just your mate but also the Luna of this pack. So everything is my concern, and I am curious to know what type of future you've planned for your subject in the future because I doubt that we are going to win this war. You are forcing the soldiers, and they are only being loyal to you. Don't you think they have a family? They have people who will miss them too; they have parents and siblings for goodness sake." She screamed back at him, and he moved closer to her,his eyes brimming with anger.

"They are soldiers; they signed their lives the day they pledged to be among the soldiers; their family no longer owns them; am I clear now?" He asked his lips closer to her ear, his teeth gritted, and he gave her a steamy look, his face filled with venom.

"If I had known, I would have rejected you and not been your mate. Or moreso, I should have supported your younger brother to be the Alpha of this pack. You make me regret supporting you from the very beginning. I lost a good friend because I wanted to be your loyal mate, but see what I got in return—deceit was all that came with it. So you will force me to say Our loyalties don't count anymore; I will only do what I think is right as the Luna of this pack; the best you can do is reject me after marriage, but it can't happen because I have your mark already, and only death can separate us." She threatened, her eyes filled with disappointment and regret.

"Nothing can separate us, not even death. I love you and can't live without you. I just wanted you to understand that I need to do this. Please don't scare me with your words; you mean a lot to me, and I really appreciate you." He pulled her into a tight hug, not ready to let go. But she isn't ready for emotional blackmail; she meant every word this time.

"I shall not be loyal to you until you make the right decision for this pack, nor shall we have anything to do together as mates." She pushed him away and went out angrily.
