Chapter 20 Mess with me, and you regret it
“Stop spewing out nonsense, Beta Casper! If you don't like Amelia, then say it!” Hans snapped at him, his eyes turning red from anger.
“I can not sit here and allow you to say whatever comes to your mouth to my mate. If you don't have respect for her as an Alpha, then respect her as the daughter of an Alpha!”
“Alpha Hans?” Elders, except the Beta, called, trying to calm him down, but Hans was as angry as I was.
“And yes, I was the one who threatened Axel to send that message. I told him that if he didn't send it, his entire family would be exiled from the Lunskye Pack! He is an omega, his whole family is so, he had no choice but to do what I want!”
Really? Then the threats will now work on him. Honestly, Beta Casper has been getting on my nerves since the first day I stepped into this Pack with Hans. And I promised he would be relieved of his duty one day if he kept doing that.
And now that it is obvious he is trying to tarnish my image, it is time I let him go. After all, Dad is no longer alive and needs a beta.
“Casper, I, Alpha Amelia Brook, the Daughter of Alpha Brook, and Luna Selena, have stripped you of your title as a Beta!”
Gasps broke out, and his eyes bulged. He didn't see that coming, did he? Hahahaha. No one defies me and goes free.
“Alpha Amelia, please forgive him.” The other elders stood up, bowing their heads, pleading, but his highness remained on his chair, staring at me in shock.
Even if Casper rolled on the floor and dragged his knees on the ground until they bled, I would never bring him back as my late Dad’s Beta.
Alphas do not take back their words; it won't start with me.
“Instead of sitting there, you should apologize, Casper. The Alpha is angry with you. Please apologize so she can give you back the title.”
They spoke to him one after the other, but he ignored them. Maybe he thinks I will take back my words, or that I am joking.
“Alpha Amelia, Beta Casper has done so much in this Pack for years, kindly forgive him for what he has done and return the title to him, please.”
Gosh! The audacity. Well, they have no idea what's coming.
“And from today, Casper and his Family are exiled from the Lunskye Pack.”
“What!” they chorused, eyes as wide as an owl's.
“Are you out of your mind, Amelia?” Now he found his voice.
“You cannot send me out of this Pack; this is where I belong.”
“But I can, it is my Pack, and I am the leader. Now leave!”
I commanded, pointing towards the door.
“I give you and your family two hours to leave this Pack, two hours! If you don't, I will have you beheaded and then dumped in the forest for wild beasts to feed on!”
I veered towards the door, but paused to give my last warning.
“Whatever belongs to this Pack that is in your house remains here. Do not touch them, and do not dare sneak them out. I will hunt you down if you do, and nothing will stop me from killing you!”
I stormed out of the meeting hall and slammed the door so hard that it shook that part of the building, making some sand fall off the wall.
I returned to the office, shut the door, and threw off all the contents on the desk.
How am I going to defend myself now? I must let them know I didn't send that message.
What to do?
“Amelia, is everything okay?” Hans asked, closing the door behind him.
Does everything seem okay to him?
“No, Hans, I want to clear my name from that stupid gossip online.”
He chucked, dropped his hands in his phone, and stepped forward.
Was that even funny to him? I am in a crisis right now, and all he knows is to laugh?
“You don't have to worry about that.”
Uhn?
“Look,”
He took out his phone, tapped it for a few seconds, and handed it to me.
Wait, this is Axel. What on earth is he saying?
‘Hello, everyone, from all the Packs across the kingdom, please listen to what I have to say. I am Beta Axel, Alpha Amelia’s Beta from the Lunskye Pack. The news going around about us sending an apology message to the Valtorium Pack, I have come to clear it.
Affirmatively, I sent that message to Alpha Rowan, but that wasn't what Alpha Amelia told me to send. Beta Casper, the late Alpha Brook’s Beta, threatened to wipe out my family if I didn't do as he said.
Moreover, Everyone must know that Alpha Amelia can never apologize to Alpha Rowan, who tried to harass her in her Pack and inside her office.
Additionally, Beta Casper has been exiled from the Lunakye Pack over what he did, so you all should know that he is no longer a member of our great pack.
Finally, I want to sincerely apologize to Alpha Amelia for what I did. I am so sorry, Alpha, please forgive me.’
Wow! I am so impressed. Even though he was trembling and sweating, he still said what he wanted to say confidently.
“Axel knows how to handle these things.” Hans chuckled softly.
Yes, he sure does. And now, my mind is at ease. Now, they will all stop talking about me apologizing to Rowan. And I love the part where he attached my reply to the video.
“Good for him,” I scoffed and returned the phone to him.
“I was going to force him into doing this,”
Hans shook his head, chuckling.
“Also, this won't stop me from punishing Axel; he must learn his lesson and never repeat this.”
“But he apologized.”
“Of course, he did. And the apology has been accepted. But he must be punished so he will obey my order whenever he is threatened again.”
I summoned the bodyguards to come along with Axel, and when they did, I ordered them to flog him until he was bleeding.
It is part of being an Alpha.
